Post your smothered mates

I don't have a smothered mate to show but instead here's an example of an early smothered Queen situation. White resigned because the combination of threats was too much to overcome. This is a game from chessmaniac..com so I don't have the FEN to post the actual game.

1. d2-d4 Ng8-f6 2. c2-c4 Nb8-c6 3. d4-d5 Nc6-e5 4. b2-b3 e7-e6 5. Bc1-b2 Bf8-b4+ 6. Nb1-d2 Nf6-e4 7. Bb2-c1 Ne5-g4 8. Ng1-h3 Qd8-f6 9. f2-f3 Ng4-e3 0-1

Smothered mate is where the enemy king is completley surrounded by his own pieces.

Not quite, but still pretty Game 2160103 🙂.

Beautifull, altough your opponent did not let you to to the final blast, probably he was too angry on himself 🙂

From a game on a different server, I was white. Position after move 14...Qc7:



The game itself.

1.c4 f5 2.e4 fxe4 3.d3 Nf6 4.dxe4 e5 5.Bg5 d6 6.Nc3 c6 7.Nf3 Be7 8.Be2 O-O 9.O-O Qc7 10.Rc1 Qd8 11.c5 Qc7 12.cxd6 Qxd6 13.Qb3+ Kh8 14.Rfd1 Qc7 15.Nb5 Qa5 16.Nxe5 cxb5 17.Rxc8 Rxc8 18.Nf7+ Kg8 19.Nh6+ Kh8 20.Qg8+ 1-0

I think that's the only one I've ever got to play.

Wow, this one is impressive, is that known opening trap or did you plan it right away?

Thinking about it, the "pattern" leading up to a smothered mate probably occurs quite frequently, just that most of the time people miss it.
