Here's a puzzle I made for the kids at an NCC Chess Camp:
Favorite Checkmate
Sort:
This is one of my favorite patterns. It shows up in the Gurgenidze Modern and also the Taimanov Sicilian when White castles short and plays f4.
Here's a real easy classic trap I use against patzers/amateurs, though it usually only works once or twice.
Classic. Btw does this have a name?

Actually something similar happened to me in a game, but in a Na5 Two Knights line, I was black and won

It would suck to be black here.
NICE! Neverunderestimate the power of the pawn! lol
I wonder what black's reaction was.
This is a great checkmate, skip to the end, and you will see that no matter what White does, Black will play Qxg4+ Qxg4 Be7#, or Be7# directly

We all like an easy, quick endgame checkmate. But every now and then, you get a unique checkmate.
Post a game showing off one of your favorite checkmates:
