greenpawn is a life saver! Please be assured that I'm not proud of most of this game as I blundered material left and right even after trapping his queen, it's just the first time I've used the "Smothered" Mating idea.

Quite an amusing game - pity you could not figured out a way
to sac the Bishop and just mate with a Knight.

My favourite Knight mate is Atkins-Jacobs: London 1915 already
posted a few times on this site.

Another favourite Knight mate is this game (Ranau-Schmidt 1972).

Keep your eye on the d-pawn.

Without wanting to reign on your parade, it seems like this was a bit of a help-mate. Well done on knowing you could sac the queen though.
