A nifty ending from one of my recent games on @lichess.org - This is both a “pure mate” in the technical sense (king prevented from moving to each adjacent square for exactly one reason), AND also the first time that I’ve ever delivered checkmate by moving one of my knights to the furthest rank.

A tactic that presented itself in one of my recent games - white to move and gain material in 3.
You can message me for the answer, but you’ll know it when you see it.
