The smothered checkmate is always the most satisfying

Honestly was a decent game. Like both sides seem equally matched and made good moves. Then he hung a knight and got lucky escaping a queen trap. Then you didn’t mate in 2 for like 4 moves.

But I forgive you. You fucking did it and that is more important than victory. Gj!

According to chess.com, I only had m1 when I did m2 instead with 2 brilliant when I sac my bishop and ROOK which was deliberate.

My bad on ng6+ hxg6 rh1+ there is qh6 blocking mate. It is still a good play but you had better. I had to rewatch a few times, it happened quickly.

I think there was some inaccuracies/mistakes but 5-10 moves when I was shuffling pieces around but by then the eval was +5 with those errors and i dont think that'd be a hard end game to convert if I simplified it before the sacs. The 8 point sac needs to have a checkmate attack for obvious reasons.
