Mmm, Qf5. Makes sense.

er... I think if I were you, I would play Qf5 instead of Qxd4. After that, I believe, it's very difficult to defend against Bb2, Rd1 and Qc3.

That was basically a losing move decision by my, but I saw no other way out of the checkmate. I think I played that right... insofar as right was available to me at that point in time, anyways.
So, from the point where you used your bishop sacrifice to force me into this position... how would you have played this differently? Was there a better available path for me that you saw?

Lol. Yes. Yes I did.

Makes it more fun. Usually our games are long, drawn-out affairs where a small error I made early ends up snowballing into a material advantage and overwhelming victory for you. This is more like swordplay. Very fun.

Again I am trying to be aggressive...

Counter the offensive, I mean. Worst case scenario for you, my castle is broken and we're even on material.
Devin

I think I can counterattack, but it will cost me.

Let's see if this works..
