Smothered Mate

Game 1083790, although loaded with errors presents a fine example of smothered mate, for anyone interested.

Cool. Something about the smothered mate... you just wanna go out and show everybody. Here's mine: Game 1058604

Doesn't it make you wonder at what point your opponent realized he was doomed?

Sweet play guys...

I keep trying to play for it here at RHP but my opponents are to wiley.

Bobla45 and Skorj.... beautiful job, both of you!

In all the examples of smothered mate I have seen I don't think I've ever seen it delivered by black. Has anyone here ever done this?

The only time I remember pulling off a smothered mate as black is the infamous Blackburne Gambit. (about half a dozen times on this site so far)

Example:
Game 1078903

Someone help me with this Blackburne-Schilling Gambit. If he had moved his Q to e2, then if Nf3, can't the King move to d1?

Here's a nice one by Blackbuck on me.

Game 809450

no, but at least you wouldn't lose straight away.

This one just came my way as a gift.Game 1105222

Just managed this one as black. Yet to manage one as white.
