As others have said,great checkmate attack; but smothered mate is where your opponent cannot move because his own pieces are in his way, rather than escape being blocked because all avenues are covered by enemy pieces. A smothered mate is defined by there being no escape because your own pieces block you in. Your game is an example of King safety outweighs everything.
