Hello @jaki, I hope you are having a happy holiday with your family. Does black really lose in 17 moves? After short castling I do not see how black escapes from the checkmate: O-O Kf7 Rc8 b1=Q Kd1+ Bf2

7.. Qxh6 Kg8 8.. Rh3 and the mate is unstoppable

5.. Ng5+! Black is lost if he takes on g5 with the bishop or moves the king. For example, 5.. Ng5+ Kg7 6.. Nxf7+ Kf6 7.. Qg6# or 6.. ... Kh7 (or Kh8) 7.. Qxh6# or 6.. ... Bg5 7.. Qxh6+ Kxf7 8.. Qh7+ Kf6

Upss!. Yes, I mean 5. Qh5

Hello @jaki01 When I see the position I realize that the g5 bishop is being threatened by the pawn. There are 3 possible plays of which I discard Bh4 because I would lose material, therefore, I would have

Very funny your reaction in the first five games haha

Gracias :)
