Challenge #3!

Hello! Challenges 1 and 2 are here:
lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/challenge-2
You can't do the challenges if it's already finished. Sorry.
Challenge 3: (12 points, +1 pt. for doing it twice.)
Show your most interesting checkmate! Unless it is not interesting, it will count.
Examples:



After that, explain what happened to the 31st of November in less than 10 words! Then you will get 12 points! If you somehow do this twice, you get an extra point! Go! You have to turn in your response by 10:44 PM
Mon Jun 18 2018 (72 hours)
@Carschi - 12 points + 13 points = 25 points
@mmMMoah - 11 points. (newcomer)

Fine. I'll make the challenges 1a, 1b, for last time,
and 2a, 2b for this time. so @mmMMoah won't have 0 points.
2a - 10 points (extra +1)
2b - 2 points

Again, 2a is " show your most interesting checkmate "
@mmMMoah, if you didn't see above, 2b is
" explain what happened to the 31st of November in less than 10 words! "

There are examples up there.
Just to use mates without using a major piece.


Carried over to the months column. (9 ++ => 11)




Outshone by Halloween and New Years' Eve, it retired.

Then Christianity renamed it so Advent could have another day.
