It is formed when a king is in the corner behind a pawn and two diagonally attacking pieces work together to checkmate the king: one to deliver the attack, and one to cut off the king's escape square. I'll call this Kyobir's Mate.

I don't think it's a new pattern.

I think it’s just called checkmating with two bishops

After Kh7, Rg3 looks like it could work, but there's F5

someone would have to be pretty silly to put their king in that corner and never move a pawn lol

not a new opening
