Calling the Shots

The player that calls the shots, that makes their opponent react to them, controls the board.  It's not full proof and I'm still testing things, seeing what works and what doesn't but that the process for improving at chess.  Here is a game where I called the shots.  I made some heavy sacrifices but they ulitmately were worth it.

Thx man.  I would have to say that critical move for black was move 18.  Removing his rook from his home rank starting a chain reaction that led to checkmate.  What is the name of that opening anyway?

Thats a brilliant set of moves you played to checkmate him! Personally, I've never been a big fan of Nc6 as a first move for black. If it goes 1. e4 Nc6, I always respond with 2. d4. I'm not much help with tactics, but theres a new opening for you :-).
