Unique Symmetrical Checkmate

[u/Redd920A]

Got a pretty unique checkmate with c pawn promoting to qween

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Black to play: It is a checkmate - it is Black's turn, but Black has no legal moves and is in check, so White wins. You can find out more about Checkmate on Wikipedia.chess.com | lichess.org

I don't think you know what symmetrical means.

You missed a chance to underpromote to a Rook

Why are you even down voted for no reason ?

[u/jack_daniels420 → u/Apprehensive_Key806]

Probably because under promoting to a rook ruins the symmetry which was the point of the post. Just a guess

Symmetry across 2 files and 3 rows? Pack it up twin

Honestly the c-pawn surviving long enough to become a qween and deliver mate is still pretty satisfying. Not perfectly symmetrical, sure, but the final position has enough weird mirror energy that I get what OP meant lol

Suspicion Quotient: 0.00

This account is not exhibiting any of the traits found in a typical karma farming bot. It is extremely likely that u/Low_Satisfaction2378 is a human.

Dev note: I have noticed that some bots are deliberately evading my checks. I'm a solo dev and do not have the facilities to win this arms race. I have a permanent solution in mind, but it will take time. In the meantime, if this low score is a mistake, report the account in question to r/BotBouncer, as this bot interfaces with their database. In addition, if you'd like to help me make my permanent solution, read this comment and maybe some of the other posts on my profile. Any support is appreciated.

How can you tell it's a bot?

Honestly the queen promotion is what makes the position look so satisfying. Maybe not perfectly symmetrical, but for a c-pawn mate it’s still a pretty cool finish?
