Mona Lisa Checkmate
In a recent blitz game, when his IM opponent declined to resign in a totally lost position, Hambleton promoted all the pawns he had left to fully remake the starting setup of the white pieces. However, he was just getting started. Hambleton premoved a 20-move sequence to force a checkmate by re-setting his entire army in their starting squares in the end.
The most incredible thing about this unique checkmate is that Hambleton had the final 20 moves figured out entirely in advance. He played the entire sequence and then waited as his opponent's king walked forward to its demise, and right in the nick of time, too! Aman finished the game with only 0.9 seconds on his clock.
