After learning Chess you quickly learn easy mating paterns suck as back rank mates and other simple check mates.
For Chess advocates who continue to improve, you start dreaming about bigger things such as Queen sacrifice mates, smothered mates and other sneeky things.
I've encountered the smother mate plenty of times in Tactics Trainer and I'm very familiar with it, but ive never gotten a real game situation to win with it until today, enjoy!

White wasn't even considering your attack! Poor guy!

After 15.Nxe7 Qxe7 16.f4 0-0 17.fxe5 dxe5 18.d6! white is better, but you did well to spot his premature weakening of the diagonal and exploit it. 17.Bh4 Bxh4 18.Qxg4! would've kept white alive as well.
