So I know that some Mate patterns are named and I ran into this mate in a recent game and I became curious is this a named mate? If anyone knows I would be much obliged.Your Obedient

Name of Mate

Please post the game. I can't figure out how that could have happened.
My apologies my intent was not to waist you valuable time going through a game a poor as mine, I was mostly just curious if mating with knights on the back row had a name. Again forgive my foolishness.

I don't know if it has a name but that was a nice finish.

Personally I would call it the "tricky knight" mate, it's very common in bughouse and crazyhouse
Thank you Notmtwain
Destroyer That would make sense I hadn't thought of that.

The less frequent a mate is seen, the less likely it has a name. I don't believe there has been a systematic effort to name every possibly mate configuration, and you'll often see shorthand like "The Bishop delivers mate" or "A minor piece mate."
That said, here are two of my favourite Knight exclusive mates.
My mates name is Carol.
looks like a checkmate
