My First Blindfold Checkmate (Lichess.org)
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nxe4 4. Qe2 Nc5 5. Nc6+ Be7 6. Nxd8 O-O 7. Nxf7 Rxf7 8. Qh5 Rf8 9. Bd3 Bd6 10. Bxh7+ Kh8 11. Bg6+ Kg8 12. Qh7# 1-0
I cannot be very proud of this game considering my opponent blundered his Queen very early in the opening. That being said, this is still the first time actually checkmated an opponent in a BLINDFOLD game - not just win through a resign, but an actual checkmate!
