Beautiful, that is my favorite mate! I have a game on a different site where they had to capture with a knight but the same result. Well done!

1.Nf7+ Kg8

2.Nh6++ Kh8 ( if Kf8 Qf7# )

3.Qg8+ Rf8

4.Nf7#

The queen of light gave up her crown and turned herself to gold, the prince of thieves embraced the glow and walked the night alone.

I'm actually getting tired of seeing so many smothered mates in such a short time, so i'm posting my own.

Have fun storming the castle!

 It is! My family and a family of our friends have a tradition of yelling that after each visit.
