Etymology
From the biblical account of David and Goliath.
Noun
David and Goliath mate (plural David and Goliath mates)
Usage notes
Most definitions agree that the pawn must be the final attacking piece. Therefore, pawn promotion with mate would not count, nor would a pawn move that leads to discovered checkmate.
