I shared what was going through my mind and saved my play-by-play comments w/ timestamps below ⬇

--------------------

00:00
START 1ST MATCH

03:59
I had already sacrificed too much material w/o a clear plan, but this move right here is where I lost the game—blocking my King with my own Rook from moving to the only free square in front of him... and I didn't even pay attention to the fork threat :-/

04:14
START SECOND MATCH—He accepts a rematch!  So now I'm gonna make him pay and win best 2 of 3

04:30
I sacrifice my knight for more control of the center w/ my pawns

04:40
Setting up a possible Checkmate w/ the Queen on h2 backed by my dark-squared Bishop

04:58
Setting up a second checkmate on g2 w/ my light-squared Bishop

05:44
I made him pay after this move... if you notice my clock, this was when I spent the most time thinking, but once I knew the series of checks that was about to unfold, I let it rip!

06:51
After this next check was the only unknown that I couldn't force... he had two choices to move, but I knew that if he picked King to e3... it COULD be a Mate in 3!

06:58
If he moved to e4 (instead of d4), the Checkmate is GUARANTEED!

07:04
Boom!  Wrong move, SON!

07:10
Blocked w/ the knight is only delaying the inevitable 💪

07:12
This is the most BEAUTIFUL checkmate I've accomplished to my recent memory!

07:15
START THIRD MATCH—Time to show this fool that the last win wasn't no fluke 😎😜

07:30
He got suspicious of the fact that I offered up my Rook, and didn't take—smart

08:56
It was a "discovered" protection by my Knight w/ my Rook backing up the Bishop... which he THOUGHT was free to take—ha!

08:57
The game was basically lost here... too much material gain by me... and I just played a "safe" game from this point until he resigned—enjoy!

09:59
I missed Queen to d7 Checkmate!  Aw man!  I could have really shoved it in his face had I seen this!  Imagine!
