Hi.
I'm trying to find a certain kind of famous checkmate i read in a random book very long ago...
The problem is: I kind don't remember how it is done. I just know it happened when the opponent didn't castle and you castled on the queen side, then you would get on a position with a queen on d3, a bishop on d2 and a rook on d1, and the opponent had his king still on e8 (or all switched if you are playing black of course)
Then you would play Qd8+ and the only option was to take with the king, followed by Ba5+ checking with both the rook and the bishop, the only option would be then to go back to e8 and then the checkmate went with rd8# because the opponent's king wouldn't have squares to go to for some reason...
This is the only thing I remember, I don't remember any examples of variant traps which lead to that neither the name of this type of checkmate...
Does anyone know how is it called?
