Epaulette mates
Compiled by sergeidave
--*--

Pretty unique and pinturesque mates where the dead King is "elegantly" and uselessly "guarded" by his rooks (or, if I'm correct, any two other pieces of his own). I don't know how many games ended in a similar situation, but I'll keep adding games as much as I can. Enjoy!

Carlsen vs S Ernst, 2004 
(B18) Caro-Kann, Classical, 29 moves, 1-0

G Neumann vs C Mayet, 1866 
(C51) Evans Gambit, 31 moves, 1-0

A move away from Epaulette Mate...
Van Wely vs Morozevich, 2001 
(D16) Queen's Gambit Declined Slav, 21 moves, 0-1

Almost ends on Epaulette...
Anderssen vs Dufresne, 1855 
(C52) Evans Gambit, 29 moves, 1-0

Epaulette or Smothered?
Morphy vs T Bryan, 1859 
(000) Chess variants, 23 moves, 1-0

Huh?
Shirov vs T Thorhallsson, 1992 
(D45) Queen's Gambit Declined Semi-Slav, 38 moves, 1-0
