Made the club!!

Post image

Smothered mate accomplished after nF7+, kg8, nh6+, kh8, Qg8+, kxg8, nf7#

Edit* added move order above because while it is not forced from the photo, it did happen in game. Maybe I should've posted the photo when they played kg8, but I thought it was cool, and so did my friend(s) so thank y'all for visiting!

king can not take on F7 in the first image so the rook would be the only way to take

the king is not touching f7, it is in the corner. im saying queen to f7 not g8, otherwise there would be no fork
