This I have already posted in the "Funny games" thread, but I thought it also belongs here. So beware; this is double.

So this was a REALLY funny game. Even if I say so myself: https://lichess.org/ofk18NOW3x6y

It combined many beautiful elements of our noble chess game; a nice opening trap, I gave the enemy a rook, and took his queen, in a Falkbeer counter gambit.

Then came that beloved, beautiful, but also devastating attack, the horse fork, forking both his king and a castle. If executed, that fork would have netted me a full castle.

However, I decided to let that fork be, because I saw a BEAUTIFUL mate in 5, including queen sacrifice, and ending in a smothered mate.
And these things a rare, to get one in a real game.

The enemy cooperated and let me play the smothered mate until the bitter end. Bitter for the enemy of course, for me is was sweeter than honey. 😀😀😀

With overwhelming gratitude to the Creator I quietly and humbly shout out: HALLELUJAH!!!

Have a good day you all!
