Smothered Mate - another useful tactic

4... Qg5
|
another seemingly stupid move |
|
| |
|
|
5. Nxf7
|
again, what else would you do? |
|
| |
|
|
5... Qxg2 6. Rf1
|
obviously, since White has trapped Black's rook, you'd get your rook to safety first |
|
| |
|
|
6... Qxe4+
|
Check! |
|
| |
|
|
7. Be2
|
unless you want your queen to be taken, that's what you'd do |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nf3#
|
Mate! another beautiful tactic |
