This was a game in live chess early after becoming a member - and is offered for general interest.

A fleeting opportunity - and not really a good move

 

oh really.

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).

vicrob

Someone suggested that it was a smothered mate.
