Smothered mate. It's just so satisfying.

Checkmate on back rank with queen and rook, the easiest and my favorite

The best checkmate in a game is the one one you delivered.

I don’t really mind what type of checkmate is considered best: as long as I do get a checkmate I’m happy.

This cost 60 moves, probably not the best checkmate but it gives durability and ultra boost to openings, middle games and endgames that use other parts of the base and the pieces.

I think the 3 move checkmate is the best checkmate if played correctly

I dont know if you are alive after covid because your message is dated back to 2020 but best checkmate is on yo face type grin.png not a smothered, not a M7-8 just bam.. in the face.. deathkiss, put your queen on the face of enemy king.. protect it from miles away with a bishop.

it would be cool if your opponent played a move that forced you to checkmate them on your next move
