Tasmania's first ever FIDE-rated chess tournament (yes, surprising it's taken so long) was held this weekend to increase the number of Tasmanian players with FIDE ratings. 4 of the 5 unrated players in the event will get ratings. #taschess
This was a Scheveningen style team tournament. Carl Gorka scored 5/5 for the rated team and he may overtake me as #1 on the ACF rating list for Tas (will find out on Wednesday).
My highlight from a mediocre result. My previous move was Qb5xb2 and white responded Ra1-f1.
Now Black to play and make white resign immediately.

Correct!
A checkmate delivered by a knight when the opposing king is surrounded by its own pieces is called a smothered mate. This is an unusual smothered mate position (there is a much more common one that happens in the corner).
