okay... I am just shooting in the dark here. I can't find a defense to it but maybe I'll go back further to see where white went wrong.

18.b4?{18.d4}
19.Qb3?{again 19.d4}
22.Rac1?{c5}
24.Rc2?{Qd1}
27...Rf4?{Rcd8}
28.Kh2?{cxd6}
28...Rh4?{Rf6 or Rd8}
29.Rg1??{Qe6!}I knew that Rg1 was a blunder.

Originally posted by tomtom232I didn't look at the earlier ones, but I agree Rh4 was a mistake for me. Qe6 is scary there, but I think I can still get out even from that position. Not positive though. But anyway, instead of Rh4, I should have played d5 blocking the queen's way in which should win pretty easily (along the same line that I ended up winning on). Qe6 is definitely a scary move though after Rh4. Glad he missed it 😛.

Originally posted by crazycolno rook or queen, but great sacrifices of both bishops, a knight and a pawn! That was great! well done
Some excellent sacrifices in this thread! The ones by Vipiu and Galaxyshield being particularly impressive 🙂
Here's one of my better efforts...
Game 4150754
No Rooks or Queens involved but pretty effective and a nice mate to boot.
