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

Can you spot the mate in one for Black?
I got this in an actual blitz game.

In one of Levy's guess the elos there was an en passant mate, although I cant find that now

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?

That is funny.  White's only two pieces (in this case pawns) in addition to the king block its only two escape squares!
