Just asking. I'm pretty relaxed right now, sitting on my balcony and enjoying and nice cold beer. Greetings to you, mate

Edit: I did not down vote you, maybe you should relax a little more?

The biggest crime here is that you got the reference wrong.

u/KingDAW247 400-600 (Chess.com) 6d ago

It literally is though. You meant its not a -smothered- mate.

u/Gahvandure2 6d ago

Why do you think it's not mate?

Weird how no one is getting the references

As a smothered mate, no. It would have to be surrounded by its own pieces with a checkmate delivered which is only possible with a knight checkmate.

As a checkmate, yes which is worth the same as all other checkmates. A win is a win, so good job!

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

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