I still don't understand why you couldn't play h6 on move 29. If Kxh6 then Qf4 or Qe3 forks the rook and if gxh6 leads to mate. So you could have pushed it to weaken his king safety even further.

It is 5 minute chess - blunders happen. What is there to understand or not to understand ?!

[xXxWilliExXx]

35.g8=Q# looked interesting :P

[Pauliustp]

Move 35 not Qh5, but just queen a pawn and mate!

[H1DR0G0]

@8:26 why not g8=Q mate?

[sertificat0r]

35. g8=Q# why not ?

[luitek]

that's what I was thinking too!

[dreamtheater39]

you dont even need to think anymore i guess....it all seems instinctive, doesnt it? :)

[Attlanttizz]

35. g8=Q# ? Or am I missing something?

[Attlanttizz]

Volume = good.

29. h6, black king can't take because of the scewer on King and Rook (as others have pointed out ^^)

[poprockssuck87]

Don't take it so personally Kingscrusher. Perhaps I did not word my comment in the most appropriate manner, but I stated what I did because most of the time I'm wrong in these situations when watching your videos. Because of that fact, I figured that there was a reason and that I had overlooked something. Of course it's blitz, and mistakes happen, but you're Kingscrusher.

blunderbuss !
