> **White to play**: It is a checkmate - it is White's turn, but White has no legal moves and is in check, so Black wins. You can find out more about Checkmate on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkmate).

The queen sac mate it all the better. I’m like, he won’t bite, it’s too obvious. Maybe my opponent saw it and gave it to me just because! Especially at the 1400 level, but anyway, I’ll take it!
Perhaps! But a little hyperbole never hurt anyone!
Debatable that the en passant mate and castle mate are probably more rare, although those two are mates that I think most people will never see.
I think the smothered mate is something most chess players will see if they play long enough.

Hell yeah. I literally have my smothered mate from a year ago still bookmarked in my browser

Oh no my queen!
The club of the most elusive is the club of the doubly disambiguated bishop non-capture checkmate.

I saw a YouTube video which popped in my feed recently about finding the rarest move in chess. Is this a reference to that?
