You decide to go all out for the win. You've always been a bit of a hacker at heart, and even if you lose, you'll at least have gone down fighting.

The game continues 2. ... exf4, 3. Nf3 g5, 4. Bc4 Bg7, 5. g3 g4, 6. Nh4 d6, 7. d4 f3, 8. Nc3 Nc6, 9. Be3 Nf6, 10. Qd2 Be6, 11. Bd3 d5, 12. e5 Nd7, 13. Nf5 Bxf5, 14. Bxf5 Ndxe5, 15. dxe5 d4, 16. O-O-O Bxe5, 17. Bh6 dxc3, 18. Bd7+ Ke7, 19. Qg5+

Your opponent has been playing fairly quickly up until this point, but now sinks into deep thought. You know, of course, that your position is completely won, in fact you have forced checkmate next move. You run over the variations you've already calculated one more time, just to savour them. If black plays 19. ... Bf6, you will play 20. Qc5 checkmate, and if black tries 19. ... f6, then you will play 20. Qg7 checkmate. There are obviously no other saving tries by black. You know that your opponent has seen this, and realise that the fained thought is just a way of playing for time. Eventually, as your opponent looks up, you raise your right eyebrow a little, the hint is taken and your opponent resigns.

You heave an enormous sigh of relief. As happy as you are about the idea of what you have won, you cannot help but feel a little sorry for your opponent. Most of all though, you are very glad that it is not you who will have to face ... that.

You claim your stakes (which are not stateable on a respectable server like angelfire) and live happily ever after.
