One of my more fun Blitz games. It's against a slightly stronger opponent (by rating) and though we both made some mistakes I had a definite edge. Unfortunately I wasted a little too much time in the middle of the game trying to decide on a move and it cost me a nice mate. I was literally a split second away from winning. (In fact, the Live Chess game window showed my move as being played, but I "officially" lost on time)
Below is the game complete with the final coup de grace move. Enjoy.
As always, any observations on mistakes or missed opportunities is very welcome.
