Lolli's Mate

Queen and pawn work together to deliver checkmate with the queen delivering check and the pawn controlling escape squares.

In this pattern, the enemy king is typically checkmated by a combination of the player's queen and a supportive minor piece or rook. This checkmating method exploits a common mistake where an opponent has carelessly placed his king inside a boxed position, typically in a corner.
