Check; Checkmate

Avatar of jblo

Have you ever seen on tv or an old movie when a player moves and says "check", then his opponent moves a piece and says "checkmate"?  I have played tens of thousands of chess games in my life, and this actually happened to me once.  I was playing a game sometime in the 80s, and lost the game this way.  I wish I had written the moves down, but it was just a quick game during lunch at work.  I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else.  Obviously I must have checked my opponent, and he interposed a piece which checked my unable-to-move king.  I guess I will try to set up some positions and see if I can recreate this checkmate.  Thanks.

That would be an interesting position! Let me know if you happen to re-create the checkmate Jerry.
