Never seen a M100 notation before. Didn't even consider that this position could be winning for black. On the one hand I'm intrigued to learn to mate with 2N va. K+P, on the other hand it seems pretty useless...

Got my first smothered mate today in a blitz game.

For instance, I'd like to play black in this position:

8/p4p2/1p3pk1/8/P4PP1/1P1R1K2/7r/8 b - - 4 47

against the bot maia9

I don't care about the time so let's say 60mins a side which I know she accepts.

Is there a single URL for this?
