Right. This is a version of the Swallow-tail Mate, and should also be mentioned!

I played this game about 35 years ago:
It has several different mating tactics in it.

Incredible. Have I but known of such mating opporunities in the Open Sicilian, and I thought the Smith Morra was something..

That is English. It is a page of Francis Beale, The Royall Game of Chesse-Play, which was published in 1656. Fool’s mate and Scholar’s mate are taken from a book published four decades earlier. The rest of the book is from a manuscript of Gioachino Greco that no no longer exists.

A theoretical mate
Of course, knight at a1 can be switched by bishop at d1, or by rook at b2
They all do the same thing - they cover the two squares - b3, c2.
(The bishop can be anywhere (on the diagonal), unlike the knight or rook, they have to stay in place):

I see these as examples of the dovetail and swallowtail mates.

I have an unpublished book with 37 checkmate patterns and 139 exercises. 10 USD and I’ll email the PDF.
