Here is one game of mine: Game 8135279. I lost as black to an assassin.
Do you also refer to a pawn as assassin if it mates by promoting?
Hi tvochess
There are literally 100's of pawn mates on RHP where one side is practically
a whole chess set up. So one player decides to mate with a Novice Assassin Pawn.
(he is practising his Assassin Pawn Mates.)
I think a real Assasin is the pawn that does it from a level postion and
is part of plan/combination.
This was also sent by TimmyBx (and this is a mate.)
I would not class this as a true Assassin Mate.
TimmyBx -Kegge RHP 2011 final position.
Instead of e5-e6 mate. White could have played Nf6 mate.
If a pawn promotes it is re-born as a Queen, Rook, Bishop or Knight
thus losing it's potential Aasassin status.
I got assasinated by Grampy Bobby recently. The old dude beat me up quite badly really.

This is a pawn mate from TimmyBx. It starts with 1.b3.
I don't want my Blog clogged up with crappy naffy games that begin with 1.b3
so I'm posting it here. 🙂

Originally posted by greenpawn34Here's another, less fortuitous. I think if not for the resignation, it's an assassin's mate after RxP. Crazy game.

And indeed, not all pawn mates are fascinating/interesting, but using a pawn to mate is the only objective property of an Assassin.
