You beat it?! Oh, you DOG! That thing has bested me every time; though I must agree that the light show is worth getting beat.

How did you manage a victory? What crucial mistake did it make?

What crucial mistake did it make?

It was after my rook, and missed a bishop check that forced the king into the corner at h8 with two pawns in front of it at h7 and g7. That let me sacrifice my Queen on e8 with check, his rook took my Q, then Rxe8 with mate. Without the mate, he would have mated me the next move.

I had mate in two, he had mate in three!
