Does it count as smothered mate

Is there a reason why black resigned or was it for no reason?

Does it count if it's gifted? My friend has never had the chance.

I thought I had a forced mate here in the back rank, but I was wrong. Can you spot why?

just started playing chess in june and i finally reached 1000 elo!! lets go

He took it LOL

One of the most weirdest games I had. Is there anything that I could improve on in games like this?

Can you find the mate in one that I missed?

Brilliant!

What about it?

I got a “brilliant” today. First one!

how is E5 a better move? If pawn takes E4 its a forced mate

What about it?

If black takes E4 then pawn to d5 is discovered check by queen and then white blocks with rook and knight but white takes with queen and bishop and its mate

Need help solving this puzzle

What about it?

Chess.com is saying mate in 3 but no matter what moves I try, I can’t seem to find it. What am I missing here?
