I happened to make a screenshot of a stream in which Finegold did this.

Nice! Thank you. Also since posting this, Aman actually posted a Youtube clip of him doing it again. Absolutely stunning. I think he premoved most of the action, too.
It's called the "reset mate" I believe, Aman just did it again today against a 2800 in a blitz game. Absolutely savage: https://youtu.be/XAlcDWQ6iTM?si=9ebA9DFdCPRcYMM5

It's a stunning level of memorization, stamina, etc.... so fun. Thank you!
this is probably a more disrespectful checkmate than fools mate lol
I got this checkmate once- check my game against yasirmziri. I blundered stalemate but got the checkmate later
I just saw this, that's a crazy mate!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!! that's crazy!

I didn't believe it, so I checked it out, and saw both of your ratings under 200 for that game, and still didn't believe it, but then reviewed the game and am absolutely blown away. One tiny mistake at the end and you stalemated!! How devastating!!
I got it later some over the board and most online all online are premoved no joke

This was a on the board game which i played in my class casually, and I got the reset mate. But instead of getting offened like I usually do whenever I get trolled, I started laughing hysterically!!!!! Note; I didnt write the moves down, but you have to believe me!
I know I've seen this twice-- Aman Hambleton and Ben Finegold both have videos somewhere on Youtube, but I can't find them anymore. I was absolutely blown away when I saw them troll their opponent by promoting their pawns to create the original minor-piece lineup and place them in the original 1st rank. Following that, they pushed the king around until checkmating by placing their final piece in the original place. Does anyone know what this is called, or have a link to a video of them performing this?
