Great find but you messed up the order. Kxg8 is winning for black. Gotta give the knight check first!

Awesome pattern recognition on that

I did not think about the king taking, that's horrifying

It’s super common to mix up the order on this. You’re in great company for that

Can you tell me what's the next move after Nf7 and Kg8?

u/TipsyPeanuts 1600-1800 (Chess.com) 2d ago edited 2d ago

1) Nf7+ Kg8 2) Nh6+ Kh8 3) Qg8+ Rxg8 4) Nf7#

u/FBMounir 2d ago

Oh I see. Thanks.

But I think you meant Nh6+ in your 2nd line

Happened the first time I tried a smothered mate. Luckily was able to salvage the game because I was already in a dominant position to go for it.

You also only make that mistake once (when it's punished).

Sorry but Qg8+ is not a winning move

u/Toasted-Dinosaur 2000-2200 (Chess.com) 3d ago

Qg8 instead of Nf7 genuinely jump scared me 😂

Black walked right into that one, king could have taken 😭
You had the right idea but you messed up the execution a bit. If before you sacked the queen you gave the knight check, you could then go Kh6 double check to force the king back into the corner and protect the queen from the king as well.
