Just wondering, but we still seem very even, and your special pieces are more more 'established' than mine

I maneuvered your queen into a deadly trap, and tried to win the game outright by winning the queen, even though I KNEW you had a good reply by attacking my king.

I gambled that you wouldn't see the move, but you did.

To defend my king against checkmate, I have to interpose with a piece, using my queen loses the queen outright, and using the knight loses a bishop. No master level player would call that position even after losing the bishop, and with strong attack on my exposed king position, I'm done for.

Well played, and although I created the weakness which won you the game deliberately, you seriously deserve credit for keeping a cool head and seeing the solution.

Your queen is toast, but not if my king is. Rematch anytime, my friend.
