Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too

Sorry but i will start something on topic again:-)
As Ed requested i will post one nice game of me against Vortex:
Well i have many great wins against Vortex. Here is one amazing win from me against Vortex which played at a time of 1 minute per move and with 64 MB hash. The whole build of King attack is brilliant!
I have played this game when i had Vortex (I think it was February so it is an older version (1.0)) and i keeped some notes for it then, and now i have added some more details. The comments were written immediately after the game by running Vortex and seeing possible tactical mistakes from me.
11. Bxe3 dxe3 {This Pawn creates for Vortex the most problems. I know it will try to defend it so i haven't capture it, as i hoped Vortex will place it's pieces to defend it and lose in development.}
12. c3 Bf6
13. Ah2 Bg5
14. Nj3 Qf6+
15. Kg1 Qb6
16. b3 Bd7
17. g4 Af6
18. Kh1 {I had to play this move, as Queen and Bishop didn't actually defended g4 Pawn since e2+ is on the air.}
18...Bxj2?! {I think this is not the best.}
19. h4 Bxh4
20. Nxh4 Ag5
21. Rj4 Ae6
22. Rj3 i5
23. Na3 {What is this? I just wanted to win two tempo's for a Knight. I would not dare to play it against a human (as i think it's not good) but i wanted to make Vortex happy for a while:) }
28. Rxf7+ {Now or never! I wanted to trust the statement which says that a king in the center is dead! Is it a good move? I don't really know.}
28...Kxf7
29. Af1 Ke7
30. Axe3 Kd8
31. e5 Ri3 {Black seems much better (with a Rook more) but i doubt it is. If Vortex couldn't win in this position against me then white should be at least equal.}
32. Rxi3 hxi3
33. d4 {This gradually build up of Pawns i'm creating in front of Vortex's King is the key to my success in this game. Vortex has no idea what is coming and it is really happy with it's position. It thinks it is ahead +360.}
33...Ce7? {There must be something better. Perhaps the losing move.}
34. a4 Qa6
35. d5 b5
36. Ac5 Qc8
37. e6 {A third sacrifice, this one is easier to play. Now it's over!}
37...bxc4 {I can't find a defence but to accept the sacrifice is the worst thing in this situation.}
38. Qd2 Ah6
39. Qd4! Ag8 {AMAZING fail low for Vortex! From a +300 score in favour of Vortex, it went to a mate in X for me!}
40. Cf4 Nh6 {Another big fail low, although here Vortex realised it very quickly, while in the previous case it made 30 seconds or more.}
41. d6! {There are threats everywhere. Vortex can't escape.}
41...Cf5 {I didn't expect that and i was afraid to play the next move, but actually i knew that Vortex can't escape and it was in despair.}
42. gxf5 cxd6
43. Axd6 Qc6
44. Cxg6! {I saw that my damn Archbishop controlled all black's King squares so a check from h4 is a checkmate! Also 44...Qxd6 is a mate in 3 for me and also i attack the f8 square. The game of course is over.}
