rosselm

I'm back online at our new house. I had a game against a player rated 1502, and got a draw which I would have been happy with before the game, but I messed up so many chances to win. I even let a stalemate occur right at the end. Here's the game:

My last move, instead of taking the pawn, I should have played h7, let him take my bishop, and would have had a mate by move 75: 71. h7 cxd3 72. b6 d2 73. b7 d1=Q 74. b8=Q+ Qd8 75. Qxd8#
