Missed A Winning Chance

25th April 2012, Kuala Selangor.

Today is the first day of MSS Selangor chess championship held at Kuala Selangor Indoor Stadium. I represented PPD Petaling Perdana in Boys Under 12 (L12) category.

In Round 3, I missed a winning chance when playing against my opponent who represented PPD Klang.

black to move after 40. Qf7

I was so confident that I could win the game. Unfortunately, I was checkmated after .. Rc1+ 41.Kh2 Qh1+ 42.Kg3 Rg1+ 43.Kf4 Qxh3??

I did not see the checkmate and giving my opponent the tempo. Can you see the checkmate? OMG, I blew a winning opportunity! I cried after the game.
