BEST checkmate ever

http://www.chess.c om/livechess/game.html?id=8350611

well at least by my standards

Cool mate.

Did you even see it as checkmate? or did you just see the king/queen fork? I'm guessing you where playing blitz.

lol i didnt even see the queen and king fork, i was aiming for the rook and king fork and then i got a triple fork with a side of mate.

thats what happens when u play 946's

Black should have seen it coming when there was the biggest of all forks, if not the checkmate.

I have to say, that is pretty hilarious!

That was...

A bad game.

that's a punch in the face

nice move

Cool mate.

Go to the Forum CHESS SHOWCASE/Best Chess Games

 and look at  Livitsky - Marshall  (Breslau 1912)

then tell me what the best checkmate ever was.

Livitsky resigned before the final move was made.

It was called Frank Marshall's "immortal game".

Here is a short one that isn't bad.

1. e4  1. c6              

2. Nc3  2. d5

3. Nf3  3. dxe4

4. Nxe4  4. Bf5

5. Ng3  5. Bg6

6. h4  6. h6

8. Qh5  8. g6

9. Bc4  9. e6

10. Qe2  10. Nf6 ?

11. Nxf7  11. Kxf7

12. Qxe6+  12. Kg7

13. Qf7    MATE

To quote Euripides, short but sweet.

That's because there's a space in it - you need to remove it.

wheres the game

A grand fork, and to top it off, checkmate. Not too shabby.

interesting
