Winning when Down 17 Points of Material

Sort:
MicroChip818
When I was playing a 10 minute game of rapid chess, something crazy happened.  At the beginning, I made some horrible blunders which led me to lose a lot of material, including a queen.  I even fell for a mate in 2 later in the game.  However, at the end, my opponent blundered and I got the comeback checkmate.  I was playing as black btw

bro, the wayward queen attack is 3. ... g6 4. Qxe5, forking the king and rook.

Wait, nvm, I forgot you were black. Nice mate though.
