Don't ever let your opponent's queen run around :)

more magic my man. what's the time control on these games? just skimming through i noticed on 34...Qh6+ 35 Qh5(forced) Rh3+ wins Q for R. i believe White was winning at moves 18-20, but he should've got his R-f1 asap trapping the N !

U know i find people really value thiier queens and try at all lenghts to protect it but it is just another peice and most be combined to win black had the right idea when combining his queen and knight. I find that is the best combination of peices to use while trying to mate someone.

Oh, were you? And where did it lead you? I think HE had a much better attack with his queen. Here's a quick principle, usually when you're defending and the opponent is attacking, trading pieces is usually good. His queen was being much more "useful" than yours and that means that if you exchanges the queens, you were not really "exchanging" but gaining an advantage (or losing a disadvantage).
