Sort:
This is the Kieninger Trap of the Budapest Gambit.
Legal's mate in the Philidor defense.
Vienna Game Frankenstein-Dracula Variation Trap:
Fool's Mate:
A 3 move mate in the Parham:
An interesitng mate where both sides copy each other:
Another Copy Mate
Damiano Defense [a variation of one of many mates that might occur]
Reverse Fool's Mate:
Smothered Mate
If we're going for 1,000 Checkmates, we really need to keep track of the numbers, as many people post multiple mates per post, or none at all.
