A Rose Throng


Black is checkmated. The White pawn on the weak g6 square at Black's camp covers the "door" at f7 and the "window" at h7; no escapes for the Black King! Thus, a typical Morphy's back-rank check with checkmating as a result.
A rose throng sticks into g6 through g5, and Black shouldn't take it by hxg5 with doubled-pawns as a result.
