Down with the Queen – A Surprise Checkmate

Posted on by

Last night I was playing Bob (Didn’t get his last name), where, as you can see by the attached photo, that I was (playing White) down [in] the exchange [by at least] three Pawns. He [had] just played Qxa2, and, upon careful review, I give him my Queen with Qh7+ followed by …Kxh7 and Bf7# A very stunning Queen [sacrifice], that is “T-Shirt Worthy.” He gave me a congratulations handshake with a compliment. It is not often that a player of my level finds a combination like this.
