Early Sunday: No Politics, but an excellent chess game

My best online chess game so far. You know, already in in live chess it is an - admittedly nice - exception, if you sacrifice a knight. But if you sacrifice later - like in the game below - online and under time pressure also a castle (!) to create a mate net and if this plan, which you never can calculate totally in advance of course, succeeds - that is chess player´s delight. With the words of my grand chess teacher Siegbert Tarrasch: "You just have to see that." I totally agree.

Chess: Loosing my Queen but winnig the Game

That is another chess player´s delight. If one looses his Queen (as I did in my 13th! move) he gets a justified three question mark.

After this total blackout I was - of course - motivated to resign immeadetly. But - only after that move the interesting game really started! Without motivation I continued playing. The I saw a check option and thought, well one more move. Then I realized another check option and thought, ok, this move too. And so the game continued. I awoke from my frustration and became motivated for a mate net. And one move before my opponent would have been mate he had to counter"sacrifice" his Queen. I was happy after this mental exhaustion that I still had enough energy to change to end game phantacy. And in the end game I got a quick castel advantage. But castles end games - everybody know that - are extremely hard to play, easy to loose and difficult to win. But for reasons whatsoever my chess instinct showed me how to make a queen promotion for my free pawn. This became the third! queen in that game but that was sufficient for my victory. And might be frustrating for my opponent - generally but with after a one queen advantage even more so.
