Chesnoob and forkman please open you eyes next time when you like in a chess puzzle book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but is itn't smothered mate......instead of that long process

yeah it smothered mate

it would be easier to move the knight

this is too mate

 Nice

3...d6 is fine for black.

        no doubt knt f5 tod6 is smothered mate

forkman, i don't get this.  couldn't the white knight on f5 go to d6 & finish this in 1 move?

sounds good, might try that sometimes

how do u insert a chess thingi though...

not sure how to...

i got a vague idea though...

ok, never mind...

oh, actually...

just tell me how the !@#$%^&*( do u do that...

Not a mate in 1:

i couldn't move the pieces in ur puzzle, miyagi

how mightily puzzling...<snigger> XD
