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.

Assunto: Re: Mate in 5

Just reviewed this game and it does rely heavily on your opponent not moving the e, f or g pawns. How often have you come across this type of opening? I would have thought most players would move at least one of these pawns to activate the diagonals? Is there a corollary which builds on this opening in these instances?
