Criss-Cross Mate

A short game with a surpising Queen sac leading to a Bishops' criss-cross mate.

Excellent Batgirl. Trophy sent for you.

Criss-cross mates are really intriguing to me.  Maybe even more intriguing are Cross-pins. I even created an article some time ago on that subject ----> Cross-Pins.

Vive la Croix!

Nice Mate and Queen sac!!

Nice!

Very Tal-esque!

Actually, very Teichmann-esque.

Said "criss cross mate" is called a boden's mate in some chess literature.

criss-cross is much more to the point.

Impressive! I've never seen that game before.

Criss-cross mate sounds better. Easy to remember and easy to understand.

Thanks Batgirl. Looks like possible material for chess tactics problems or puzzles.

Sick

yeah
