I blundered while checkmating
Great Analysis by chess.com engine
when you listen to GM's discuss mating and mating nets etc it's noticeable that possessing an artistic flair appeals to them. Sometimes they'll call a move 'ugly' when I'm thinking 'Gods that was a genius move'. it may have been effective but it wasn't the most elegant apparently. whether the engines nowadays have developed an humanesque understanding of flair and elan is debatable and possibly rather frightening lol. checkmate is checkmate though. handing out blunders for winning the game outright seems insane

That's pretentious. It isn't their business to condemn an effective move as unartistic. In reality, an "ugly" move is not a move that's effective. It's another move that SEEMS to do the job but which has drawbacks. Therefore an "ugly" move is one that a good chess player would try to avoid if at all possible.
