This guy plays what I can barely describe as an opening, gets a horrid position, then...well you can figure it out by the name of the thread.

I just swindled an opponent on ChessTempo, just decided to see who was playing, and I missed a tactic in the position, losing at least a piece.
I decided to give up my queen for a knight and bishop, and my opponent had a chance to take the queen simply for the bishop, but missed it (as did I). Afterwards, having a knight and bishop for his queen, I managed to mate him on the side of the board, after he brought both his queen and rook to the eighth rank while my king stood on the seventh.

This is the game, imported to lichess. It was a 3+0 blitz game.
If my opponent took my pawn with his knight, I would have resigned.

Just swindled another opponent today, this time on lichess itself. Blitz game, 3+0, it was a rematch to an opponent who I had defeated just minutes before after he blundered his queen. In this game, I dropped a rook completely for free, but decided to play on anyway. The checkmate is quite beautiful, at least in my opinion.
