How to ACTUALLY Smothered Mate

[@ninjamitcherz]

"smah-ther mate"

[@chasemcnamara2503]

LOL

[@headholio]

She knows how to do it, but she doesn't know how to say it!

[@CM-ky5go]

Yeah why does she say it so weird

[@shinichigojir12]

It’s like closing the door behind you, and getting trapped and starve to death.

[@akaNemsko]

Accurate

[@ecilatnecniv]

​@@akaNemsko i want to experience that mate from you... can we play on lichess.. 🥹

[@EcstaticMonkey98]

Black blundered rook takes f7 and you can’t checkmate, the bishop is protecting the f8 square after queen e8

[@frednimzowi9852]

Black could have simply play ...Rxf7 and the game goes on

[@Batmobilechess]

16000 online chess games and today for the first time I managed to pull it off

[@electroAM]

I think black could have saved it by taking the knight with the rook, although being down a trade

[@itsjusttmanakatech1162]

This is literally the most basic smothered mate that u see in the chess puzzles.

[@niekdekker557]

Except there is still rook takes f7

[@D1minutiv3Theme]

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw the position

[@davhen5874]

No......

[@davhen5874]

Nope doesn't do anything, rxf, qxf7. Mate unstoppable

[@cravencraven]

h6

[@Hame23]

​@@davhen5874 if mate is unstoppable why doesnt stockfish say m4, 5 or whatever it just says its plus for white

[@zarifshoeb]

I’m pretty sure it’s defendable if you give back the rook by taking the knight on f7. Then Queen takes rook ( If you don’t and check on the last rank, rook blocks and bishop is protecting it. They’ll be up a rook and that’s game ). But if you do take, Qb5 should hold preventing Qe8 check. Otherwise, that check would pick up the bishop. Now it should be an equality end game. White is still slightly better but it should be draw with perfect play.

[@Irland_mindset]

I hope you'll do more teaching videos. I learn by watching you play as well but videos like this one are great too

[@richlight]

Cool, never thought about forcing a check that way. That's getting added to my repertoire

[@ChessInstructorSF]

You missed the double check so the King MUST move that is the whole point of the smothered checkmate. Otherwise without that rule, the Rook can interpose. But then what will you do with the Knight check? Can’t interpose with a Knight check, thus the King MUST move. It’s not about g7 or h6, you can reach a smothered mate in other areas of the board!

SMother of God...

[@f1xhy.]

[@haik6834]

what if the rook takes the knight

[@McFleurry31]

Rxf7, qxf7, then black queen takes white bishop?

[@krishnachaithanya4116]

Even i have done somthers Mate many times its little bit exiting, but i have not as exited as you

[@VengefulProductions.]

what happens if he captures knight with rook

[@ELFanatic]

My brain broke

[@FS-or8oc]

If he just take the knight he will win cuz of the bishop for final trade

[@IveReignSupreme]

There wasn't a forced smother mate, infact black could have sacked rook for Knight and then white isn't even clearly winning anytime soon...

Queen takes rook, queen e8 check. If they queen b5, go bishop d4. It’s guaranteed mate
