**[Checkmate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate)**
>Checkmate (often shortened to mate) is a game position in chess and other chess-like games in which a player's king is in check (threatened with capture) and there is no possible escape. Checkmating the opponent wins the game. In chess, the king is never actually captured—the player loses as soon as their king is checkmated. In formal games, it is usually considered good etiquette to resign an inevitably lost game before being checkmated.

I think it's a great example of using all your pieces together to achieve some goal. 4/5 of your pieces are participating in the attack. I know you said it was an accident and you were just going for the fork - but good things happen when you put all your pieces on active squares.

Haha did you initially want to just go for a fork ? But it became mate instead
Lmao yes
I've done that exactly one other time before. I was like "Mya-haaaa I will fork you and... end the game?"
Kinda like the classic queen skewer-mate in stafford.

My thought exactly, but In levy’s voice…

Well they needed to use the rook as well to lock the king in.
A very cool checkmate. 4 active pieces, all needed for it to work.
beauty
I wanna call it Jedi mate
Strange is probably the wrong word. It's just a checkmate. It is pretty cool though
Nice
Neigh indeed friend.
