I'm a beggar...


What does an Elephant have to do with this chess opening? No recall of ever playing against it. Nice win for me! :]
I'm White. My opponent is clearly weaker than me. I rarely get these kind of Checkmates though I always record the game when I do. Here it is.

I win as White. It's like Black doesn't believe in his Knights. Also, the only time I've ever checkmated with a Knight at e8 this way. 1n2Nbnr/r3p1kp/6p1/p7/2BPP3/8/1P3PPP/R1B1K2R b KQ - 2 15

I win as White. It's a timed game meaning we make some mistakes. This is the Queen sacrifice as promised.
