Favorite Checkmate


Haroldlee123 - klonka
 Here we have my favorite checkmate from the lingering Chess World Jerome Gambit Thematic Tournament.

White has just played 69.e7 checkmate.

He might just as well have played 69.Bh6#.

Promoting three pawns to Queens and sacrificing one would have been a bit too much: 69.d7 Ke7 70.f8/Q+ Kxe6 71.d8/Q Ke5 72.Qf5#
