Game Showcase?! meh 

When you play bullet games sometimes you checkmate without knowing it yourself. If it has happened to you, well show your case in case... 

I know it is hard to admit it. But it happens... grin

I wish I could find a couple of my rare instances. However, they were a while ago, like perhaps a year or more.

But, they come as a very pleasant surprise, don't they, when they happen!

I was like ok I will give a check and then... oh wait is that a mate? Oh yeah thats mate!

I had absolutely no idea it was going to be mate. In fact for the last three moves, all I'd been trying to do was extricate my knight and get a nice safe position, I wasn't really trying to win at all.
