Here's one in puzzle form. Find the checkmate I quietly set up in this horrible position that my opponent failed to notice until it was too late.

And another one. Here I was actually winning, but can you find the great sacrifice I played to end the game quick? (Yes, you probably can. Because it's not really that impressive TBH. Lol)

This is an old, but memorable one. The queen was just too tempting at the end.

Some of my most memorable games are where I salvage a draw from a loss due to good endgame play.

What in the world is this checkmate? I can't believe I did that.

Looks like a railroad mate except the knight blocked the kings initial escape.

That's nice and all, but it doesn't exactly meet the theme of the topic title.
Given my low rating, I definitely missed the optimal line here. But I'm pretty proud of this atttack (Playing Black):

He either lost a queen or lost the game, i would pick option 1, but clearly he picked option 2

Why this is fun:
- Able to do Short Castle Checkmate, which is 2x rarer than Queenside Castle Checkmate
- Losing 16 points of materials
- A fun checkmate right out of the opening (here, King's Gambit)
- Teaches your opponent a brutal lesson to not be greedy
- Is fun chasing the king around and luring it to checkmate
