I was asked to look up some smothered mates missed or played.
I found a game I blogged five years ago. Even if you may have
seen it before, it's well worth another viewing. It's just incredible.

andy m - DeepThought RHP 2006

This was a Sicilian Defence. After this game was published the
people of Sicily put the final position of this game on their flag.

That's the second time I've gotten a smothered mate in 15 years of chess!
I can only remember one other time LoL.
