Created at Encyclopedia Dramatica +
Has current status Since Goronchev's departure from [[YouTube Since Goronchev's departure from [[YouTube]] and his focus on simply web chatting, his online presence has been virtually diminished. The phrase, however, is used as a playful, yet disparaging comment, along the lines of [[United States]] President George W. Bush's "Mission Accomplished!" t George W. Bush's "Mission Accomplished!"

Has origin A previous blogger on [[YouTube]], Goronch A previous blogger on [[YouTube]], Goronchev, was relatively well-known for his shared stories regarding sex, pornography, physical and mental superiority and video gaming experiences. Many of his videos featured graphic descriptions of sexual acts and public announcements of his domination of others in chat rooms, the most famous of whom was kbob08, who was surprisingly similar to Goronchev in presentation. At the end of his arguments against other YouTube users, he would use the phrase, "intellectual checkmate!" An obscured article was created on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], entitled "Smugfag", which drew little attention. In August, 2007, however, a second article was created called "Goronchev", which drew much more attention and had the previous page merged and forwarded. Goronchev discovered this article and began a campaign against Encyclopedia Dramatica, by first creating a prolonged video about his disgust with the website, labeling it as racist and by his definition, "destroying" it by contradicting every sentence, one line at a time. This new attention drew a mass multitude from the /b community to Goronchev and the page was expanded upon under the new meme, his ratings went down across the map and he was eventually removed from YouTube. nd he was eventually removed from YouTube.
Has summary '''Intellectual Checkmate''' is an exploit '''Intellectual Checkmate''' is an exploitable phrase used to translate one's unwarranted sense of dominance, due only to providing a pencil-thin defense that denies one's flaws. The best way to go about with an intellectual checkmate is to get offended by what others indirectly claim about you. After gratuitously obsessing, begin a Moby Dick-sized rant about how superior one is for simply being themselves. It is best to clarify assumptions of physical and mental superiority, as the icing on the cake. Otherwise, people would not be able to tell that somebody is not telling the truth. Before the closing, it will be necessary to clarify that multiple twelve minute responses are not part of an ''obsession'', but the integrity of a ''passion''. Preceding the successful publishing and optional book deal of such an amazing triumph, it would be necessary to mark the moment as an '''"Intellectual Checkmate!"''' <center> <div style="clear:none; max-width:50em;"><div style="margin: 0 10%;"> {| style="border-collapse:collapse; background-color:transparent;" | valign="top" style="overflow:hidden; margin: 0 0 1em 0; color:silver; font-size:2.7em; font-family:serif; font-weight:bold; text-align:left;" | <span style="line-height:0.4em;"> </span><br />“ | valign="middle" style="overflow:hidden; padding:0 1em; text-align:left; font-style:italic;" |  <br />"It's time for me to bring this out on [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]].
