Top 3 Smothered Mates By Paul Morphy

In this video I have collected the top 3 smothered mates by Paul Morphy! The smothered mate follows to the queen sacrifice!
In chess, a smothered mate is a checkmate delivered by a knight in which the mated king is unable to move because he is surrounded (or smothered) by his own pieces.The mate is usually seen in a corner of the board, since fewer pieces are needed to surround the king there. For a smothered mate of this sort to occur in a game, it is usually necessary to sacrifice material to compel pieces to smother the king. One method is particularly common and involves: check with the knight, then move the knight away to deliver a double check from the queen and knight, then sacrifice the queen to force the rook next to the king, then mate with the knight!
