pin to win, with Knight fork:

I made an early blunder in this game, but came back with a vengeance!!! I recovered from a poor position, then later had a crushing Knight fork of the King and Queen......my opponent resigned after move 26, since his Queen was toast (he cant take the forking Knight, due to the fact his pawn was pinned due to my Rook)......note that my opponent had the opportunity to exchange Queens when I blocked his Queen check with my Queen..... luckily for me he didn't, but instead gave me a his Queen as gift a few moves later!!!!
