Nice game John.
After seeing this game I couldn't help but notice the similarity between this and a game of mine from five years ago.
The moves were as follows: 1. e4 c6 2. c4 d5 3. cd cd 4. ed Qxd5 5. Nc3 Qd8 6. Nf3 Bf5 7. d4 e6 8. Bb5+ Nd7 9. Ne5 Nf6 10. Bg5 a6 11. Bxd7+ Ke7 12. Qa4 h6 and black resigns as either 13. Qa3# or 13. Qb4#.
