Apologies, Taylor; I suppose somehow I never noticed that you and Shane had called for an opinion in that game.  XD  Didn't mean to ignore you.
No worries. :)

Anyway.  I'd say 10. ... Qa5 was the best option you had, because it didn't result in instant death and it saved your queen.  Shane missed one thing in his analysis, though; had you played 9. ... Bh6, the best counter would've been 10. Nxh6+ Kf8 (forced) 11. Qf7#.
Not to mention he missed Qa5 as well :))
Guess that's what happens if you don't have a physical chessboard and have to resort to a mind-one.

10-11: There's not much to say; you only had one possible move each time.

13: 13. ... Ke6 might've been better, because there are still plenty of threatening pieces left on the board and d5 isn't really a safe place for a king until you're mostly down to pawns and a rook or two.
I see...

16. Props for remembering en passant in the heat of the moment, but I would've just played 16. Kxg5 instead.  That way your pawn wouldn't be left open to recapture by two of Shane's pawns.
I hadn't seen Shane's rook on g1; I thought he'd move his Bishop to d3.
I kinda like en passant, and I especially like matches with eight of them. :3

19. Rather than 19. ... Kg8, you needed to leave g8 open so that your rook could protect your bishop and prevent Qxf8#.  You needed to get your queen into play to stand a chance, really, and the quickest way I'm seeing is e6, Qb4, Qe7.

You didn't miss much, after Move 10; there's only so much you can do when your opponent can keep putting you in check and you've only got one or two ways to escape.
I see...

Thank you very much, Dr. Egregious! :)
