The Power of the Rook

Sort:
StrategicusRex

Here is a game in which a bishop sacrifice cleared the way for a checkmate with a rook.  I admit that I was fortunate my opponent went to the corner on the last move instead of going around his pawn.  Still, it's a great game.  Enjoy and please comment; I'm looking for feedback to improve my performance.  I'm looking for critiques here.  What did I do wrong and how can I avoid doing it again?  I played as black and I was victorious.
