How is this mate possible? Is this possible in real life?

@angstg

To be honest, it was my first intuition.

@R3-D3 Yeah mine too, it was pretty easy.

Easy 1300 puzzle.

It's an easy puzzle with forced moves. You just have to test the checks to find the solution.

THIS MATE IS CALLED Pillsbury's mate

Yes but only @bak000za answered the question correctly - No this is not possible in real life. And I agree. In fake life yes, but not real.

Look at this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Anderssen

Today he definitely would be a strong GM.

And as @CM Sarg0n pointed out: a forced sequence of moves.

So to answer the question: This is possible in real life. At least for non-noobs.

@Goofy00 In New Jersey we have a thing called sarcasm, it doesn't translate well in to text. Of course it's possible, but to someone who has to ask the question I say "OH! Nooooo." See?
