Queen Sac for Mate

Boden's mate - great! never could do that in my games.

I've achieved smothered mate with a queen sac though..
Thanks man! I couldn't remember the mate's name and didn't feel like getting out of bed to get my book on mates 'How to Beat Your Dad at Chess' to look up the name. Peace!
LOL, spectacular! Looking at the "#2" marker, I wondered what the mate was - couldn't see it in first try and just decided not to bother. After hitting the right arrow key, it was clear and gave me a good laugh, haha...
If you didn't catch it the game stops just before mate. PXQ and Ba6#.
Reminds me of the Peruvian Immortal. (Just that Canal first had to sacrifice both rooks to make this work in his game... ^^)
Dr. Schultz I looked up the Peruvian. Thanks for the share! And thx Neverness for commenting. I felt really good about it.
