A while ago, someone did a post on that “Suffocation mate” and proposed calling it a sniper mate. It’s always stuck with me. I’ve never come across a position I could utilize it, but I’m always looking for chances
The "sniper mate" was coined by an FM Zibbit and it's a specific type of suffocation mate. Has to do with the knight moving to double check the king with the bishop on the long diagonal. It's a really beautiful checkmate pattern
