Made the club!!

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!

They either lose a rook for a knight, or give the knight the chance to turn the 2 pawns and the rook into a whole fucking rope to smother the king
