I played a fun miniature game today with a queen sac and a funny mate. Game and comments below:
If black's reply is 16...f6, I don't see why 20...Qxe5 is a must as you posted. White's reply with 21.Bg4 is not checkmate. Black's King still has 21...f7. If black's would've seen it perhaps your sacrifice wouldn't have paid off as it did. However, it was very clever though and I liked the finish.
nice
i like
nice...
Oh it's really cool!
Unreal
Very cool. Congrats.
very, very cool... I don't think I have ever seen that mating pattern before
Sweet ... although it required white to play a little carelessly, black should be commended for excellent piece coordination and visualize the mate nicely.
That was nice - but taking White's queen was too greedy and let White activate all his pieces like lightning!
ERIK,very good sac but ithink black makes it look so easy however your calc is very very good,but i think you might be in danger if black didn't move his Q and start developing pieces your pawns skeleton would be very weak!!!!!!
Black was hasty, White was collected.
Very elegant with the two pawns as the tip of the arrow.
yo very elegant play erik!
I missed the lines after 17...Kf7, Erik, very nice. You could have given them in the first place,though, they weren't trivial, lol.
BIG board for a (lovely!) miniature:)
Killer moves there man..

Hey good job erik! Im not just saying that cuz yer the admin, I didn't know it was you until after I saw the game =)
Everything white played was not forcing on Black, specially 7.. Qh4 but Black played what white wanted.. Nice game..
Thanks for sharing this one with us all.
I've had a few 'sweet' ones like that, clear, crisp and finished in 15 moves or so.
Really nice, allways good with the sacrifice. Mine usually are 60-40 % to win but I get the feeling that I rather remember the blunders after the sac on the long game with to many combimations.
