Ah crap.  As if I hadn't made enough mistakes this game, I moved your king earlier to 5iv.  Now looking back, I see you had him on 4iv.  Well, I'll confess to you now that you could have already forced a mate.  I thought I'd escaped, but with an error like I just made (thinking my G on 3iv was safe), there's no hope now.  At the very least, I would have dropped my last piece as a lance instead of a tokin.  That would have prevented this unequal exchange.  In any case, instead of duking it out for several more turns, I'd rather declare you the victor and challenge you to find out how you could have forced a mate in the last few moves.

Meanwhile, congratulations on beating me!  You played very well, and I'm happy to see you win.  I know I'd made several poor moves, but you took advantage of them and made several good ones, so you should be very proud :)
