Just something I came across playing the CPU on my cell phone. Maybe too easy for some, but it was fun to play.

Yes it is easy. 1--Qb6+ 2-Kh1 ( else mate by Qf2 ) Nf2 3-Kg1 Nh3 4-Kh1 Qg1 5-Rg1 Nf2++ In fact it standard smothered mate so there is nothing to think.

The lesson is - always look for a way to limit your opponent's options!  I've had to learn that one the hard way myself...
