Reversal of Fortune
Here we were after losing both my rooks. Although this was an online game, my opponents glee was palpable. He was as contented as a fat cow on the range. But now, the counterattack... 15...Qb4+ 16.c3 Qb2 threatening the rook and mate on d2 17 Rd1 Qc3+. White would not escape if he played 16. Ke2 because of 16...Qd2+ 17.Kf3 Qf2++
We are almost there. White was forced to play 18. Ke2 Bb5+ bringing another piece into the attack. 19. Rd3 Qd3+ (better than 19...Bd3+).
Checkmate would follow very soon beginning with 20. Ke1 Qd2++ I don't think that my opponent appreciate it.
