Russian Mates

Sort:

Here is an interesting position played in Russia in 1904.  White checkmates at most in 5 moves.  There are several variations in this position that all result in mate.  The opening was a King's Gambit Accepted, which exposed the Black King to a final mate.

Some checkmates are more "beautiful" than others
