Smothered Mate

Written By Gabriel Barr

Trapped by your own crowd! In a smothered mate, the king is boxed in so tightly by its own pieces that it has nowhere to run, and a lone knight sneaks in to deliver the final blow. Test your skills with these puzzles and see if you can find the smothered mates.
