I have been trying to pull off this stunning checkmate ever since I found out about it.  The first time I saw it, I was amazed that the queen could be sacrificed to make way for the bishop.  I recently made a checkmate OTB that was similar, but it wasn't the same as a pure Boden's.  

love it!

IT ROCKS!  CANT WAIT TO TRY IT OUT!

Nice mate!

That was awesome!

Nice!

I did this a while back. Definitely my favorite kind of checkmate.

Nice checkmate! My fav!

Dang, I wish I could do that.

Nice games to both players here. Curious they came at opposite ends of bishop b5 Sicilian defenses!

yes this checkmate is fun to play

My favorite thing about this mate is that those 2 bishops could be 2 knights and it still works!

Nice Boden's Mate - intersecting the paths of the two Bishops to check the King and block the King's escape to three squares with his own pieces and the edge of the board blocking him in the other directions.

One bullet game played yesterday :

And another played some weeks ago :

Like this one?

I meant like this, but that is cool also!

These mates are very hard to pick if you don't know it before

Thanks for the games, @Poucin! I know, 1..e6 and 2...h6 is insane. But Bullet chess makes me wonder whether the French is even playable at that time control. I know, Naka and Carlsen can play anything and make it look good, but for the rest of us?
