My opponent and I each suffered from having a Pawn that looked adequately defended, but was not. Fortunately, I was able to see the truth of the position first.
Thryge was also online seeking a G/40, but I decided not to say hi.

nice sac & mate!
This was like that scene in Indiana Jones where Indiana is on board this ship and some sword swinger flashes his stuff. Harrison Ford goes ” Oh Hell” pulls out his gun and shoots him. Well done Indiana Egg
@Chessaholic: Thanks! The mate was not closed to forced, but Black was badly off in any case.
@Blunderprone: LOL, that is a very famous scene. If the story behind the scene is true (the gun wasn’t planned, Harrison Ford was so frustrated he just did it), that makes it all the better.
