pion Chess

Gueridon mate

The rook or the queen, with a pawn, mate the opposing king:
King is one row forward of the sandwiching pieces
which block king's escape to squares diagonally to the rear.

A 'gueridon' is a small French cafe table. The King represents the tabletop, while the pieces or Pawns diagonally behind him, which deny him those squares for escape, represent the table legs.
