Has anyone seen a checkmate like this before? I love the Queen, Bishop and Rook all coming together on one diagonal to deliver mate. I've been reading a book on the Sicilian because I'm bored of the positions I get after e4 e5. With the early h4 played by my opponent instead of the preventing move f3, it seemed an opportune moment to throw in Ng4 to harass the e3 bishop. I later moved the King to h7 in order to threaten Bh6 should my opponent ever be careless enough to play f5 and leave his Queen fatally exposed. According to the analysis, this game has 97% accuracy by black, which does make me worry about being accused of cheating. However, I just felt like I was playing very natural moves. The g7 dragon bishop becomes an absolute monster if left unopposed, which is why an early f3 is so important in the Yugoslav attack...
