(this quotation thing is awkward, i'm referring to that game with the smothered mate where the entire board gets reversed)
Edit: Sorry i'm blind just noticed it said not an actual game. So cool whoever came up with this!!!!

Mate in the middle of the board with a knight (Bullet game).
That's nice for a bullet game! Was it intentional?

Not necessarily a «weird-looking» check-mate, but, a «check-mate» that I just kind of «stumbled» into doing when just trying to put his king into regular-check...

I thought for sure I was going to end up losing this game with the stupid mistakes I made early on even when he didn't bother to fork my king & rook, but, I apparently ended up winning by dumb luck (no, really, luck actually does exist in chess-games; it's not «pure» skill/strategy, but, also a combination of if the opponent is asleep/awake/paying attention, you throwing out random moves that result in you winning, like just what happened here with this «accidentally stumbled upon» check-mate).
Once I figure out how to embed screen-shots into these forum-posts I might try to update/edit with the screen-shot, otherwise, the favourite end-game «weird» check-mate that I like is the Bishop/Knight end-game (you have to check the opponent's king with ONLY a Bishop & a Knight remaining on the board)...
Nice checkmate.
Other options than a screenshot to show the final position are to post the final position as a diagram or download the final position and post it as an image.
apple sauce
pinned queen? what pinned queen?
a pawn mate:
a Q+N corridor mate in the center:
a 3x diagonals mate
a Rxf7 mate
inside job mate
an "are you sure you got enough pieces?" mate
another kitchen sink mate:
my own pawns are in the way mate:
a 3x minor piece smothered mate BEFORE white can pull his pawn fork off
assisted smothered mate
