Chess game

Im playing in the San Jose chess championships, and after 6 rounds, I was 5-1, behind 3 players at 5.5-0.5. I played one of them tonight and pulled off one of the most spectacular mating attacks I've ever managed. Damn, I am proud of this game. If you don't play chess, don't bother. If you play at all, look at it.

Do you do you know of a site that can read the history and play the game out? Google doesn't seem to be helping and I'd prefer not to dust off my board.

Try...

Just copy and paste the text (including the header) into the blank space, and give it a minute.

Re: Try...

I got impatient and got my board out, but thanks for the link. I saw a ton of stuff on Wikipedia (from my google search) that I wanted to play back so we're good to go.

As for this one, I think white could have avoided a ton of trouble with 19. Nxe4. It's probably the standard line, but I didn't see Bxh2+ coming. Very nice.

I don't really understand chess on a high-level at all, but damn, that *did* look pretty cool. At what move did you "know" you had him?

I knew that I had at least a draw after Nf3+ (from the later option of playing Qf3-h5-f3-h5) and suspected I could find a mate.
