I was scrambling for time in a 1|0 bullet game. Didn't realize this was mate. Not that weird, but usually two bishop mates aren't as crowded.

Hey! How players in your level pin your knight? Players in 900 know that so they remove second bishop and they castle. 

huh?

tacticspotter

uh what is “remove” “second” bishop

remove means to take it away...

which you cannot do in chess....

No, I mean 900 rated players do like this if I'm black:

Did you get some definitions mixed up lol? You're developing the light squared bishop, not removing it lmao

Btw not all 900s play the same, playing be2 and bg5 are all natural. King safety is the number 1 priority, but there is no need to rush into castling because black cannot attack the king that early on.

There are still traps with be2 if you are still wondering:

This is an XXL game but still awesome. Both me and my team mate were new to it.

I was black and took 11 moves. @ollie_g Thanks for playing with me! happy.png

This was one of my games, there is a beautiful forced checkmate. See if you can spot it happy.png. I am looking for the name of this checkmate if there is a name, I have never seen anything like it in my 50 deadly checkmates book or anywhere. Please message if you know what this is called.

Nah mate. This is just one of those wacky mates. A smothered mate is only achieved when the king is surrounded by his own pieces
