Podiatry as it relates to Epaulettes

Was reminded of the wildly popular YouTube site maintained by Suren when I delivered an Epaulette mate to a podiatrist at ICC who shockingly goes by the name of FootDoc. Suren probably makes tons of advertising revenue with his Adsense account. I noticed he has 105,000 subscribers.

Suren posted a video of an Epaulette Mate By Alexander Morozevich. So why in the hell do they call it an Epaulette checkmate. Suren did not explains this, but it  turns out it is a military term. An Epaulette is a type of ornamental shoulder piece or decoration used as insignia of rank by armed forces and other organizations. GET IT EVERYBODY? In the diagrammed position where the podiatrist is being mated, both rooks and the bishop are "shouldering" the King occupying escape squares. Moreover, an age old rule of the Royal game is only one piece may occupy a single square, otherwise the King could move on to the same square as his rooks or Bishop. Possibly FootDoc forgot that fundamental rule? A synonym for this may be smothered mate where king is completely surrounded and then mated by a Horse. So I guess smothered mate is a special case of Epaulette mate.

Please do not confuse any of this with the legendary Nigerian Foot doctor who practices in Albuquerque, NM  United States of America.
