I'm pretty sure this guy played the Caro Kann wrong which lead me to seeing a needle in a haystack.  Let me defend my inaccurate move by saying, I had the chance to win and most games don't lose because of one bad opening move.  This was too ridiculous to pass up.

Bet your opponent wasnt expecting that. This is one of the few openings where smothered mate is a possibility if your opponent plays poorly- I love it! Smile

Very nice, sometimes ya gotta take a chance on that qick mate. I have that some people don't see the quick mate because they never consider a quick game.

he was using conditional moves, so i thought that his full attention wasnt there.  that helped me to decide on Qe2

I've seen this smothered mate before, and it's really nice! (Kinda hard to pull off, though.)

Caro Kann players need to watch for the Q swinging over to the e file early in the exchange variation, heads up! If black is paying attention, the Q move is often a fizzle later on in the middlegame.

Kind of weird that a natural developing move falls into a mating net.

after move 4 there was nothing black could do, black advanced its knight wrong, but i also dont understand why black took the white pawn. Why would black put his black pawn undefended (taken by knight in next move) breaking down its own defense?, black breaks maybe possible white's central position but isnt advancing much on it. white has more on the board at move 4. So i wonder why black played it that way.

(i always wonder why both parties play a game as they did not only the winner)

anyway great small game

I'd never play that opening, but if I did, I probably wouldn't see that mate. Well played!
