Here is an unusual checkmate in Janus chess where the Janus checkmates alone. Has anyone seen a similar case?

PhatPlaya: Even nicer example (Capablanca random chess):
Black to move and checkmate in 2 moves

andreas: Wonder if it would have been any different if the pawn capture used the i pawn?

WhisperzQ: I think not . . . Black was dominating the game after hxg. certainly avoiding the mate in two was necessary but the open file will be dominated by Black . . . controlling a rook file near the opponents king is usually winning.
