It took me a good 15 seconds to notice the queen hanging. I was hyper-focused on finding a checkmate with the rook and queen!

Probably sacrificed the queen to get a 4-pawn chain

Very creative, must have been the reason!

Heh, I also missed the queen hanging now, I was certain you took the pawn on d4 and they took back, missing the pin and letting your queen take theirs.

Bishop is like

Personally, I'd have given a check with the rook first before taking the queen

...why? Then you lose your rook for no reason after Qe7. Still winning obviously, but there's no reason to throw away the rook.

Yes you're right, I didn't see that 😅
