yup! nice one vuhung.

 

You would be surprised to know that these types of mate occur more often than you might think.

There are not forced move in this variation; anyway , nice check mate.

After Bg7 black is lost, no matter what he moves.

I often try to find the way to win the chess matchs by capturing pieces. But when i think could finish the game soon, i am checkmated Frown
