And here is a few more cool mates:
And a final one:
AND FINALLY MY FAVORITE MATE!!!
This next one, my opponent preforms a ealry bishop sacrifice and pays the cost.
this next one is a quirky variation of the typical "fish hook" mating trap line in Ruy lopez. Just thought some people would like to see it
When my opponent sacrificed her queen, I was scared initially, however I felt like there was no threat substantial enough to justify it, and in the end I love the 3 piece triangle formation that I used to check mate her with.
UPDATE: May20th! sorry I havent been playing much, lots of tests at school!

beautifull mate vs a higher rated player!
CHECK OUT THE LAST MATE!!

I did enjoy these. But in the 3rd one, why not just 29... Qd2#. Not beautiful enough?
Frankdawg
nice mates, that first one looks like something a grand master would come up with, but then you went and missed the mate in 1 on the 3rd so... hehe
yeah, I saw the mate a split second to late in game.. and I believe my clock was at less than 2 seconds left !! :P

What I don't get, is how come your rating is so (comparitively) low? Some of these mates I wouldn't find in a correspondance game! Excellent games btw, do like the first one, very brave.

Very sharp glance you must have to see all this in a minute , but this is very cruel limit of time . You can try 3 and 5 minutes and see whether this will improve your development.
When 1 minute - your opponents often make mistakes and this can stop your development.

@jaydeeuk1, during the school semester I only like to play unrated, as I dont have time to emerse myself in chess theory so that I feel comfortable to play rated.So for now my rating will remain (comparatively) low.@morph27, yes 1 minute games create many blunders and mistakes, in my opinion 1 minute games are best suited for 2 things:1) being able to observe a position rapidly2) being able to observe blunders or mistakes well.When im done with my semester at school, I will probably spend more time playing blitz 3-5 minute games, and hopefully improve my skills :)
hopefully more cool mates to come soon!

Nice playing with you, always need PRECISION to win
Obviously 1 minute limit exhilarates you - go ahead !
Wish you more spare time .
hehe, thank you, likewise!
I had a bunch of nice mates today, however it was against a 1450 rated opponent, so I didnt want to post it :(
Betiyo

Good thinkin,
