There are no games found in the database though. 6. Bg5 is a blunder. Be2 and white is fine.
What is the name of this opening checkmate?
Sort:
Legal mate! a classical mate.
The first game played by Legal :
Here your game leads to mate with a bishop but its almost the same, with a queen sac and mate with a minor piece.
