Middle Rank Mate:
Name and create your personal checkmate!
It’s similar to the Double Bishop Mate except the king does absolutely nothing in this mate and it is help ed with a pawn instead guarded by the other bishop.
I just saw the following live GM game end this way:
There were a couple of other pieces on the board, but this was the mate, call it "RookRage" mate.
@Pizzaisthebest123 - max possible sum of pawns + queens on the board is 9, there seem to be 11 here ...
Not a new checkmate, but just had a random thought what if white lost this position:
Imagine these are two 2000+ level players in the championship round of a tournament.m, and white in a time scramble plays Qd1, and gets mated next move by the Knights! It's actually possible to lose in a queen vs 2 Knights endgame lol, wonder what the reactions would be if black won that game like this?
Could have ended 2 ways. I call it the Pinion Mate (combo)
Lol. His rating was 1650 compared to mine as 950 (now 1170)
