First win for Horsham I think, nice one

Yes it was my first win. So many possible variations to finish off, with a pretty mating attack, with an en prise Knight and Queen v a Queen and Rook. His greed to threaten, pin and later desire to gobble my Knight with his Rook left it on a weak square, that left only his Queen to defend his vulnerable King. It felt good to find my Queen right next to his King for mate after taking his Queen. I also had compliments for playing in an exciting and dynamic way by the opposing team. Made sweeter by the team win.
