Beatiful checkmates

What’s the most beautiful checkmate? I’d like to hear your opinions. My favourite checkmate is from the game between Engels and Cardoso in 1949. It was a forced checkmate in six. Look it up, it’s amazing.

There are some cool checkmates, but generally speaking I really like Smothered Checkmate with a lone Knight in the corner of the board, Smothered Checkmate with a lone Knight on the side of the board and Bishop and Knight checkmate.

Here are two games of mine; one with the Smothered Checkmate on the edge of the board and one with B + N checkmate:
