Is that supposed to be Kasparov's mug on the right hand side? Did he decide to join a rock band and spike his hair? Hopefully it hasn't affected his chess strength much.
@TheGambler666 Thanks, I think. :) For these YouTube videos, I was playing quite a bit quicker than I usually do in the interest of fitting as many games as I could into a single video. So, my actual strength is higher than this, but I am by no means a master (still have a long way to go there).
Basically, for the quick games, it makes sense to play natural moves that are reasonably sound. Kinda like how you would play in a simul. Regardless, I'm glad you enjoyed those moves!
@theAwsomBeaverrr Yes, that would've done it. At that point, anything would've done it, really. I think my reasoning behind playing Qxb6 was that I saw the lateral move to e6 w/check and saw it setting up the mate, and I took it immediately because I was moving quickly. Completely missed that I had the mate at that point, as you noted. :)
Now that I've looked at it again, I wish I had seen Rxg7+ Kf8 Qe8+ Kxe8 Rg8 mate at 9:12.

@MistirPinchin Wasn't trying to extend the time. Actually missed Qa6 mate. Nice catch! :)

at 9:12 you could've checkmated him with Ra8
