Neat, economical and confident in his technique. Of course, after 47...Qh4+ would have won easily enough...

I know I must be missing something but why would a queen sacrafice be beneficial in anyway?

The queen sacrifice shuts down any possible counter play that I might - Dream up. The resulting position is a simple endgame win for Black with his King already out in front of his pawn. Using his extra tempo with the pawn and his King eventually two spaces out front, he can easily force a second promotion to Queen.

A very instructive and entertaining annotation.

This game was a very intersting show. White tried very hard to keep chances alive and only exchanged into the endgame when there was no other choice and when it created a complicated endgame for black. Great play by white and black and, as elfin said, the game is good to learn from and to enjoy.

This is probably my favourite annotated game, to be honest. Very good of you to annotate a lost game, msot people would be ashamed lol.Nicely done, anyway.

I appreciate the time you took to annotate this game. There were some good learning points involved.
