First checkmate of the month

Queen-Bishop Checkmate

Earlier this morning I scored my first Correspondence Chess win by Checkmate of September. This Club Tournament game began on 04 August of this Summer and ended exactly one month later when my Black Queen Mated the White King, with support from my g6 Bishop covering the King's only flight square.

Position of pieces at game's end is shown above, and our full move record here: 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 h6 3. h3 Nf6 4. e3 a6 5. c3 Nc6 6. Nbd2 e5 7. dxe5 Ne4 8. Nxe4 dxe4 9. Bd2 Bc5 10. Qe2 O-O 11. O-O-O exf3 12. Qxf3 Nxe5 13. Be2 Nxf3 14. Bxf3 c6 15. Rhg1 Bf5 16. g4 Bg6 17. b4 Be7 18. e4 c5 19. Be3 Qc7 20. Bxc5 Bxc5 21. bxc5 Qxc5 22. Kc2 Qxf2+ 23. Kc1 Qxf3 24. e5 Rab8 25. c4 Qc3# 0-1

And the adventure continues.
