Masterpiece mate!
Yes, weird checkmates seem to be much more prevalent the closer the opposing king is to the center of the board.

This mate is insane. Has anyone had an almost-smothered mate where the king's escape squares are blocked all by pieces, none of them pawns, and the king's not even in the corner?
I've seen this before, these are really pretty I did it once on chesskid.com its called a half smothered mate
That is funny. White's only two pieces (in this case pawns) in addition to the king block its only two escape squares!
