Checks Only

Check-check-check and mate like shooting a Winchester 9422M ("Added by: 9422m").

It may just be a training exercise, but the position is a bit awkward with white's f1 bishop missing with pawns on e2 and g2 still there, and, assuming no promotions or foul play, black has played Rxf1+ at some point.

A queen sac AND a smothered mate. Shocker.
