Kind of liked this one as I sacraficed a couple of pieces to capture the queen. Which gave me a slight points advantage. Considering we were ranked very close when the game started I thought a bit of a risk, Which turned out to be worth it.

I'd say you (1755) were playing a much weaker player (1442).

"Huge blunder"? You are rated 2093; your opponent is rated 1218. Not much more to it than that. I can't believe you felt the need to brag about it by posting here. 😕

Why not:

Then you could have had a mate in under ten moves. 😉

Game 6647828 More brilliant because I was developing my pieces around the fact that his king is stuck in the center, thus anticipating the sac.

I saw that when I went back through the game afterwards. Felt pretty stupid, there. But hey, that's why i go back through, ya know?
