Oh, yeah I can see the game now.

Yeah, that mate does look pretty.

That's a Thunder-Mate - yes, this is the most beautiful. Chess is art.

Thunder-Mate = Double Check, but attacked king has no escape-square.

@EAL12 you had 78.2 accuracy and your opponent had 55.4. You played two great (!) moves.

Here is one checkmate I love which I got in a game, but "best" is tough to determine and maybe this isn't the "best" - but it is cool. grin.png

This one was funny. I had 10 seconds left, premoved a check... and it was mate.

 

 

Beautiful ! This is beyond human touch, G-d has helped you create this. You're probably either a very good person, or have done something Really special that day. (I'm not being cynical/sarcastic). - Too asthetically-pleasing. Work of Art.

or maybe you're humble - G-d love the humble:

"Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth" (Numbers 12 : 3)

 

(since you call yourself little and pig)

Okay, enough preaching. sorry. bye.

The most beautiful checkmate is a players first one.

Though I guess mine are pretty cool too.

Its not the most beautiful mate I pulled off, but it's definitely the funniest for me. Both me and my opponent were very low on time and out of instinct he took my hanging bishop... and just like that the position went from about -8 to mate in 1. I was like "Welp, at least I can check them again" and it turned out to be a mate. XD

I almost never get mate on the board, but here's one. The game itself is utter garbage, but the final mate is kinda cute.
