Thanks for the smother mate chess game

AWARDCHESS

I will upload more of that nice Topic!

One player here told me, that he read about it, but never got in practice, until I find a Smothered Mate in our game...

In my practice it happen a few dozen times, so it have a sense to study it and be ready to demolish some positions!

Good Job!

Regarding last position: (This is moot, since the move  2...nxe1 was played, but...)  could black have escaped with 2...Qh4+ ? (for example, 3. Ke2 ... Qe4+)

AWARDCHESS

Great!

AWARDCHESS

Maybe black can escaping from Mate on my last game, but;

1.they NEVER got a Smothered Mate before at own practice!

2.after exchanging Queens, white can win some Material by taking a black Knight on f3...

pushwood

Only the material that black has extra, I think. Like I say, moot point. The challenges themselves were fun and educational! Thanks Smile
