I sheepishly played Rb1, and black took the bait. I didn't notice that after Nxb8, the queen covers c7! Luckily, I kept looking at the position.

Not Quite a smothered mate...the next best thing.

I was having a torrid time tonight, kept losing on time in won positions or
saccing the house and getting hammered.
Some nights I'm unbeatable at blitz, (lucky), other nights I'm a dope (very unlucky.)

...then I pulled this off (I got lucky again.)

He was actually a good lad. In our previous game it was K & R v K & R
and he was 30 seconds up to my 10 but chopped Rooks for the draw.

Flick the board so you can see it from my side.
