Taking a break from coding for some lunch. I wanted to share a game I played a week ago on chess.com vs. a rated ~1940 player. This is the first time I've gotten a "brilliant" move rating from chess.com and this mate is the most amazing I've done.

Queen sacrifice to mate king with just a knight. First time I've seen "!!" on one of my moves from chess dot com.

OOOOO NICE!

Smothered mate! 👍🏻

The only time I got one before was just from dumb luck. I didn’t actually understand the move I had made 🤣

Congrats Aaron! I have to admit, I didn't think I'd ever get one because they seemed to be impossible. That type of mate is extremely rare for me -- in fact, I think that might be the first time I've mated with just one knight.
