Use the Philidor's opening to win. It is a well known checkmate which I have used in games not on this website. Sadly they don't fall for it on here LOL.

Philidor's mate is a smothered mate, but this is equally cool-looking.

I actually tried this in a game versus Alexbegun on this website in a 2 minute game. Alex had a 1582 rating and of course it didnt work.

Here is the game...
