G*5ii mate. I will tell you that there was a way out of this, and it would have prolonged the game quite a bit. If you want, we can go back to that point. Or we can move on. Either way, let me describe it to you. On move 14 you should have moved your king to 3ii. If I dropped my silver on 4iii, you could have then moved your king to 2iii (anything else would have been mate when I would drop my gold). At this point I only had one more piece to drop, and I now have a piece to defend. Once I complete that drop, all my pieces are on the board, and I am not able to do much with them since your king would be behind enemy lines, and most of the pieces are weak to the backward directions (not to mention that moving them would make most of them change to even weaker, more forward oriented pieces. Meanwhile, you'd have three pieces you could drop near my king. I'm not sure you could force a mate either, but from that point I think it would be a long game.
