Lolli's Mate
Lolli's Mate, named after 18th century Italian chess player Giambattista Lolli. Black has a fianchettoed pawn position (pawns on h7, g6 and f7, White has a pawn on f6 and infiltrates with the queen). This is a very common way to checkmate.
Tips for using the board below: If you tap the f3-square, that'll take you to the next game. C3 will take you back to the previous one. If you tap e7, that will flip the board. Note that once you've flipped the board, the functions don't flip, so e7 becomes d2, f3 becomes c6 and c3 becomes f6. Many more squares have functions, I'll let you discover them for yourself if you want to.
