It is the kind of thing you pick up from obsessivly studying endgames. And people say the knight and bishop mate isn't worth the time it takes to learn...

The Russians were right.

What is that called... a pure mate? Such things are wonderful, but so much more so when they are forced.

I've seen that exact mate portrayed in a book written by Garry Kasparov. It is a beautiful mate, one which I would have liked to have achieved in a game. Of course now I realize how unlikely it is, but to see it happen here restores my hopes. lol It is a fine way to end a game, but it does suck when you're on the receiving end.
