I’m not so sure this is an 8-move mate.

Yeah, my first quick look had something like you, but then I noticed Morey has lost a Knight and a pawn. I can’t see an 8 move mate.

Here’s what we know

2 moves for the bishop

2 moves for the king side Knight (or 3 by other one). So for simplicity of counting let’s just say the e5 Knight is the king side on 2 moves.

1 move for the queen

2 moves at least for the pawns shown on the board

That totals 7 moves we see

That means out of the missing knight and pawn, one of them had to be taken without moving, and the capturing black piece has since moved out of that capture positron.

Can you explain 7 known moves and two missing pieces, all within an 8-move mate. I think this is a 9-move mate

But I’ve yet to look at this with a board, so trying to do it in my mind.

How about you? Did Morey handicap himself and take his Queen Knight off the board to start?

Blacks white diagonal bishop is also missing .... That's the likely exchange (Where?) Apparently kf3 , Bg4 , kd2? Bxf3 , kxf3 to eventually get the queen knight to e5 ?

I'm counting 9 minimum moves.

Morey is playing chess while the rest of the league plays basketball.

He needs to sink in more fts at practice and lay off the dinner parties

Cool pic of Morey and Sam Presti after the Harden deal.
