I Broke A World Record In Chess!

If you are a follower of my platforms, you would know about my ventures on exploring the extreme in chess. Specifically, underpromotion has always been one of my primary fascinations. I have tried to achieve the goal of delivering checkmate with maximum amount of knights before, however, either because of the uncooperative nature of my opponents (looking at you Naycir-BOT) and the nature of opening I am playing (Queen's Gambit Accepted or Exchange Slav will require some pawn exchanges) didn't let me achieve this goal. Also, we all know that people at my rating range likes to eat pawns for breakfast, trade horseys and bishies left and right and middle, please tell me something different. After I achieved the 8-knight checkmate, my eyes were on the big prize, the ivory tower of all checkmates: 10-knight checkmate.

With the ideas sprouted by endgame virtuoso Mark Dvoretksy and master endgame strategist Ludwig Ahgren, I was in the search for the correct opponent to deliver this special checkmate to.
Then I saw his face and his three digit rating blinking at me from the corner of my screen... Martin was the right opponent...First and foremost, I want to thank my followers for believing in me, even when I accidentally gobbled a few pieces and pawns, putting my beloved horsey at great danger.
A huge thanks goes to Mama Naycir, for making me. Without her, I wouldn't be me. (Maybe I would be Emma Watson... RIP...) 
I also want to thank Chess.com for providing the platform for this amazing record to take place.
Thank you Martin for being such a great opponent, taking my rooks and queen when I needed him to take and not taking my horsey when I accidentally offered a trade.
Last but not the least, I want to thank my moderators Sente for not invoicing me after the heart attack he got after me offering a trade for my horsey for three consecutive turns and Dirkje for not having enough coffee and falling asleep during the entire thing. Otherwise, he would have 100% sued me after what had happen.
Anyhow, let's tell everyone I got the world record, it is kinda getting boring out here.
