    Very good! I think there's a famous name for that queen sac smothered knight mate pattern.

    It's called Philidor's Legacy, but as you can see, it's a con. http://www.redhotpawn.com/blog/blogread.php?blogpostid=63

    On a side note, I like the game, although I am disappointed that the Morra player didn't win. I like the Morra😞.

    I play Black

    [pgn][Event "Clan challenge"] [Site "http://www.redhotpawn.com"] [Date "2014.01.16"] [EndDate "2014.03.19"] [Round "?"] [White "rigidwithfear"] [Black "64squaresofpain"] [WhiteRating "1375"] [BlackRating "1623"] [WhiteElo "1375"] [BlackElo "1623"] [Result "0-1"] [GameId "104 ...[text shortened]... the Queen is taken with the Rook or Knight, black has mate with Nf2... white resigned} 0-1[/pgn]
    Good show! White played very passively. Surprised he plays gambits.

    For example, I would strongly consider 6.Qg4!? instead of the meek 6.Be2?

    Well Done.
    I'd have given you the satisfaction of the mate
    (... but that's another thread!)

    Thanks guys,
    and I won't lose sleep over not being given the satisfaction πŸ™‚
    (maybe loss of sanity, but that is also another thread!)
