I am in big decline in chess in recent couple of days and my Lichess rating fell under 800. However today I managed somehow to end this annoying losing streak against player AlexDan753 (rating 1758). I think game was exciting and as usual when Tawamba wins other side made some mistakes. It was Lichess rapid 10 minute game. We started it with some kind of Karo Kann opening.

5 Nc3 Nd7
6 Bd3 Qb6
7 Rb1 c5
8 d5 Ngf6
9 h3 O-O
10 O-O
Nothing much happen so far, I developed all pieces except Queen, while his light Bishop remained undeveloped.
Nh5
11 Qd2 Ndf6
12 g4
He moved his Knights on strange was and I noticed I could attack one on h5 wit my g pawn. He will be forced to switch other Knight or Light Bishop for 2 pawns. I know it is not good to open pawns from castle but wanted to risk a bit.
Bxg4
13 hxg4 Nxg4
He lost light Bishop but my King is very naked at the moment. I decided to move Knight to h3 and then to move forward f pawn after which I would try to put Rook in front of King.
14 Nh2 Ne5
15 f4 Nd7

17 f5 Qd8
18 Rg2 Kh8
19 Rf1 Bf6
20 Rf3 Rg8
21 Ng4 Bh4
22 Nh6 Rg7
Soon things looked like on bellow picture. I protected King a bit and decided it is good time to remove g6 pawn and to treat double King-Queen attack with Knight.
23 fxg6 hxg6
24 Nxf7+ Rxf7
25 Rxf7
I had his Rook for my Knight. He tried to trap my Rook on f7, but my Dark Bishop did right thing after.
Ndf6
26 Bg5
Qe8
27 Bxf6+ Bxf6
28 Qh6+
White Queen penetrated to check black King and that was game over for black as check mate is inevitable now.
Kg8
29 Qh7#
Check mate!
I know it was not some top notch game, I am out of concentration these days, I guess I had luck in this game. I don't know why he didn't put his Knight on f4 and force me to do Bishop-Knight exchange. I think he could benefit from that move. If you want to watch entire game you can do it here.
