An unexpected checkmate??

Have you ever been in a state where you were close to winning a chess game, but you made a move, and you surprisingly found out that it was a checkmate? That happened to me once, and it is here:

45...Qh1# was a surprising move to me. I never knew that was going to happen! Has that happened to you before?

How were you close to winning that game?

‘Close to winning’ is an understatement. After Kf1 (first move above), you can checkmate in two moves. But maybe you were trying something more elaborate? wink.png
