  fredthebear: Swell mating net commences with 13.Qf3! The Black queen must decline her counterpart, for Pillsbury's Mate awaits by the rook on the open g-file. As it turns out, the Black queen gives herself up to delay the attack. It's the rejected White queen making full use of the f6-square that delivers the final blow!

If instead 13...QxQf3??, Pillsbury's Mate would have occurred above. Pillsbury's Mate is a checkmate by the rook on the open g-file. (Morphy's Mate has a similar structure, but the bishop on the long diagonal delivers the checkmate.)
