Mate in central ranks--plus 10 points !

I propose:

If one mates the opponent's king in the 2 central ranks,(i.e., a5 to h5 or a4 to h4), he may be given plus 10 bonus points in the rating !

 

What do you think ?

That's a game, all right.

Granted, Yosemite Sam isn't incredibly difficult to trick into attacking.
