It was certainly unusual. Well done for finding the mate at the end!

Well, you got there in the end, and well done for maintaining your focus. It is very hard to find the optimum moves when you have so many options available. I think, Erika, you probably should play rather stronger opposition than this, who will be more testing of your play.

I agree with ION. That's why, if and when Erika wants, I'd be happy to mentor her again. There were a bit of missed opportunities, still. Yet, Erika didn't make a terrible that gave up her advantage. But, you can learn from stronger opposition, Erika.
