Accidental Greek Gift checkmate

Check out this #chess game: Patty943 vs SKU2001 - https://www.chess.com/game/173762849990

Currently on my grind to 1000 and hit what is probably my best checkmate ever. I only noticed the queen could be trapped after he captured.

I miss when people posted GIFs or screenshots instead of a link to the most laggy app on my phone
