Ed. Lasker-Thomas redux
The king hunt and conclusion of the game below are a bit reminiscent of the famous game Ed. Lasker-Thomas, London 1912. Had my opponent and I played 3.Nc3 Nc6 4.h5 d6, we might have repeated Mora-Suttles, Tel Aviv (ol) 1964, another spectacular game that ended with a queen sacrifice and a draw by perpetual check.

It's a nice touch that Kd2 leads to mate, but (for a change) is not mate itself. Now if you could only make the king go all the way back to e8 before delivering mate....
You don't ask for much, do you?
