We all know this does not happen between sane players BUT after just having seen (mysterious) NM Jerry Chessnetwork doing the Castle Mate and En Passant Mate against computers: Anyone seen the check vs check mate? If not, has anyone seen a position where this Hollywood Checkmate would even appear imaginable? Would make me laugh, which is why I also posted this on Fun Forum :-)
PS. I have set up a number of positions where the mate looks reasonable but they are almost impossible to reach from a starting setup.
