Uggh... That's the worst for me. It's happened twice, and I despise it! If I have a move / sequence of moves that lead to mate, I would really prefer seeing it. 

I'm glad you enjoyed the moment, though! It looks like an innocent move, until... well... you get the picture.

"Always check it might be mate".- well known phrase

another more derogetory one that is also well known

"Patzer see check patzer do check"

(not meant to be insulting if this was blitz you win a rook Smile)

I don't see how that's relevant here, Chess_Enigma.  It seems clear to me that a893429 was going for the rook.  :)

That was a nice mate, anyway.
