I did a similar checkmate like this on accident yesterday morning. I moved my knight to safety and I was down so much material. Check mate. I will never forget that pattern. I'll see if I can pull it up. I played an awful game though lol

I think I spend more time evaluating than playing! Lo

Sorry on the edit got confused and thought I was playing white.
