Do smothered mates make you claustrophobic?

I was wondering, have you ever thought of that poor king hemmed in my his own pieces? Does it give you nightmares of claustrophobia and being killed? It's probably silly, but think about that poor king, his own army is like rocks, not moving and no matter how hard he tries he can't push them and scrambles around looking for a way out? As the usually helpless knight jumps over his army and corners him, the king unable to stop it, his own army suffocating him? To me it brings suffocation nightmares, being trapped in a room with no door impenetrable until some creature comes in to kill you? Creepy thought. Can anyone sympathize with this?

That poor king is probably getting hysteria because of that knight.

I get hysterical whenever I'm mated - to heck with how my King feels!

lol seriously?

NO - for one thing, I resign prior to getting mated, and for another I try not to take things here TOO seriously - although I may be slipping too far over into not taking them seriously enuff

A smothered mate is the most suffocating, and that fork hurts your army. That knight comes along with that pitchfork and weakens your army like that.

lol
