Can anyone make this type of checkmate famous?
Context: So somewhere in May, I was playing in a tournament (Not an official tournament) playing as black and I have the advantage. The FEN I will show you is how I remembered this position
FEN: 8/p1p2ppk/1p4qp/1Q6/8/2r5/4r1PP/6RK b (Copy the FEN including the "b")
I calculated in this positon and I sac the rook on g2, he took my rook. I checked with rook to c1, he can block with the queen or the rook but chose the rook instead. And I checkmate him with Queen to e4. Rook cannot block because of the pin and the King is stuck inside of a broken castle.
I call this checkmate "Dragon's mate" Because dragons invade the castle in novel terms and queens are suited for this comparison.
There is nothing more good than checkmating your opponent.
