A queen, supported by a pawn, delivers checkmate against a king trapped behind its own pawns.

Lolli's Mate is named after Giambattista Lolli (1698–1769), an Italian chess master. The queen delivers checkmate on g7, supported by a pawn on f6.

Key Elements

• A pawn on the sixth rank (typically f6) controls g7 and cuts off the king.
  
• The queen delivers checkmate, supported by the pawn.
