A novelty mate


I was white - and I agree it was not really a good move - but a fun result
I was quoting you. And I disagree. g6 is a perfectly valid move. nxe4 is just ?? though. Instead b-g7 and black is perfectly fine.

I agree that g6 is valid - and that my Nd5 was opportunistic and totally wasted with Bg7 with a better development for black - but the outcome looks good and just to do once gave me enjoyment (like a Legall mate might).

:D. I agree it is nice to occasionally get one of those nice mates in the opening in
