Dear All!

I played a tournament today & for managed first ever smother mate. The icing on the cake was that my opponent had written me off citing that I have too "few pieces" to mate his king. And here i went on to sacrifice my queen to mate his king.

Feel free to comment or give suggestions!

Very nice finish. Strange that he gave you the Queen instead of the Rook.

I remember my first somthered mate. It took me seven years to get one.

It was in a league team match. I was playing the C board.

The lowest board of the team. It was in San Quentin Prison.
