Much obliged.
Btw this is called "Philidor's Mate".
Smother mate
Sort:
Technically only the end position is called "smothered mate" but it is also used to identify the theme of a combination resulting in smothered checkmate. Philidor's name has gone extinct in the struggle for fame on this subject

Yes, if you are getting mated anyway, the faster the better.
Also, that's not a smothered mate. That'd show white!
So you will take a loss against Magnus if "the smothered one" is your only alternative?
I hope Magnus agrees with you the next time you crush him!
Hmm, am I the only one who doesn't see a forced smothered mate in this position?
1.Qg8+ Rxg8 2. Nf7# – okay.
But
1… Kxg8 and White's queen went down for nothing?

Yes, you are the only one.
