Rook-Knight-Bishop Checkmate
I won this CC (Correspondence Chess) game a few minutes ago playing Black. On the 40th move of this game, which began with our first full move on Feb. 24, my e1 Rook delivered the mating move. The White King's only two flight squares were covered by my b8 Bishop and my d1 Knight. The position of pieces at game's end and our full move record are shown below:
