Illustrated smother mate.

Keep in mind diagonal attack by the queen starts and sustains much of the early attack. Not shown in most of the scans following the first only because the board would be too busy for beginners to easily follow.

This is remarkably swift and sure; once the king decides to move toward the corner, the game is effectively over.

The above is from a specific recent game, in fact, it is from the game shown on the previous page. Note the queen check could have been blocked but would have cost a rook. The remainder is generically applicable.

While it lasts: a link to Michael Mendoza's informal private-apartment fighting game tournament. 1st 20 minutes features Josh360.

Street language advisory in effect: Though all in fun, and in a relaxed atmosphere, there are lots of bad words tossed around.

This fan favorite session for a 15+ year old game (Marvel v Capcom 2) actually earned more sponsor donations than the biggest professional tournament paid out for its marquee game (Tekken 7) last year, iirc.

Michael Mendoza, better known as "Yipes", is a professional commentator for eSports, as well as a former, and still formidable, fighting game player.

Thomas Sowell on Trump, December 2018.

Evidence Trump's initial round of tariffs worked -- at least in 2018:
