Was surprised to discover that Dan Heisman, who took the time to define the nebulous term Accidental Error, would omit the much more substantive definition Artificial Bank Rank.
That segues us into the following blunder made by ego123, a good blitz player at the internet chess club in Pennsylvania, United States of America. The dude just played the gaffe Nd5 opening the f file for the decisive game ending tactic.
The artificiality of the back rank mate is made possible by White's g6 Bishop guarding the escape f7 and h7 squares which would normally be occupied by Black pawns creating a REAL BACK RANK THREAT!!!
IM Bartholomew did an exemplary job of elucidating the perils of not noting the safety of your flight squares. He indicated you can get good at the Royal game by just being air tight on being aware of loose pieces AND understanding the slippery notion of piece communication. D. Gurevich would really go off, especially after a few drinks in Chicago Taverns, about how Gata Kamsky(headcase for a father) understood piece coordination at Carlsonian levels!!!
