I don't think I've seen a King helping to deliver checkmate in the opening before.

What was elegant about that? Your opponenet blundered into a one-move mate.

My opponent mated me in this one but it's still a nice mate. Game 1402226


Not so much of a elegant mate but the moves before the mate are nice. Game 953133

It looked like the solution to some sort of "help-mate" puzzle. (Black to move and hurl himself over a cliff)

In this game I had the material advantage. Game 1476379
It was a gamble, but I sacrificed both my bishops to win. My opponent could have walked away with one and still kept the game going, but took both and set me up for mate in 2.

That is the machoest King I think I've ever seen in a chess game.

Everything looks okay until 7. h3 and compounded by 9. Nh4 - both really bad moves by White and from there his mistakes were telling. 12. Nh6 - dish me up and serve me nice, plus it took four moves to get to that square.
21. Qxc5 was another big fat mistake but by then you were a piece up and then things went further downhill for White. 21. Qg3 looks the only option.
Good for you, you punished his errors

Thankyou. I hadn't really made such astute observations myself, but I suppose thats a good way of looking at it.

After many disastrous blunders on my part, my opponent has the material advantage and has broken through my defences. This being the second game in a row against him I've carelessly hung a piece. The other game it was my queen(after just winning a rook). Unfortunately, white fails to realize he's left himself vulnerable to a back rank mate.

I didn't deserve to win this game.Game 1470915
