Rook-Knight Checkmate
I won this Correspondence Chess Club Tournament Game this morning via a Rook-Knight Checkmate. The image above shows the Black King attacked by my d7 Rook which is protected by my e5 Knight. That King's only possible flight squares are covered by that e5 Knight and my d4 pawn.
The full move record of this game is: 1. d4 d5 2. h3 e6 3. a3 Qf6 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. Bg5 Qf5 6. e3 h6 7. Bf4 Kd7 8. Bb5 g5 9. Bxc6+ bxc6 10. Ne5+ Ke7 11. Nxc6+ Kd7 12. Ne5+ Ke7 13. O-O gxf4 14. exf4 Qxf4 15. c4 Bb7 16. Nc3 c6 17. Ne2 Qh4 18. cxd5 cxd5 19. Rc1 Bg7 20. Rc7+ Kd6 21. Rd7# 1-0
And the adventure continues.
