Assunto: Mate in 5

The "Dual Steed Smother" is one of my favorite Gothic Miniatures. In it, you place your Chancellor in the f-file, make one strange knight move after having baited your opponent to activate his Bishop to chase your Chancellor, and on the very move you are so threatened, you mate with the Knight.

If you go to archived game 57339 you will see this in action.

is the link. It should be noted that you can execute this in 4 moves, but I had to "challenge" the potential placement of his bishop on the long diagonal, or else the miniature cannot be accomplisged.
