My first smothered mate

Finally got one of these buggers!
Took me long enough 🙂

I play Black

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😞.

Well done, you are now in the Smothered Mate Clan.

64Squares,
Congratulations 🙂 That is part of what makes chess neat.

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 🙂
(maybe loss of sanity, but that is also another thread!)
