Looking for a mate with a pawn

Hello brothers and sisters.

I'm an elementary school chess teacher in Israel, using chess as a tool to deliver deep educational messages about life. Next week's lesson I wanna use to talk about the importance of any human being in the fabric of creation, even those who sometimes seems to us as transparent.

I would like to know about a match where mate was achieved by a pawn (It's OK if the opponent retired one step before it actually happened) and it will be even better if a strong piece was sacrificed for that purpose.

Bless.

Hi there, i saw a puzzle that requires a pawn, i know that it is not mate, but nonetheless not a bad one

A tricky mate with pawns, but i think this is a bit controversial imo as u dont know the pawns can be en passened

dxe6 mate

I think this one counts although its simple

I have seen some mates by pawns but i cant remember, I will comment here again if i remember some other ones

A well-known match? Just any match? Would a made-up example do?

 

Here, in this made-up game, the queen commits suicide to deliver checkmate by a pawn.

This is a daily game that ended with a pawn mate. I was black.

A simple example that comes to mind (there are many others) is the one attributed to Paul Morphy:

Here's a game that shows a pawn promoting to a Queen (accomplishment) and a pawn mate. (Two for one). Dialogue is a bit annoying, but it's a full game showing all moves. Game starts about the minute mark. In case this doesn't show this is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai8D7rCl0RM

Hey Damon - Open your game, toward the bottom in the middle there is a "download" symbol, click on it. This opens the PGN game file. Move cursor into and copy file. Close the download box. Come to this posting page and click the chess board. A box opens, select "load PGN", place your cursor in the PGN box and paste your copied file. Load the file by clicking insert, and here you are - your game . . .
