It is would be mocking your opponent. But I recommend such intentional mocking if you're about to checkmate a guy who been playing on with only his lone king against your entire armada. Then we can say that the dork asked for it. Otherwise, for example, if the opponent missed a brilliant mating attack by you, it's best to not say anything to them. They may be upset, and there's absolutely no reason to further fuel their frustrations. Even if your intentions are good, they can't read your mind - only read the plain text
Or, just say good game whenever you actually mean it. If it's one move before checkmate, why does it matter? If someone is going to be offended because you say "gg", I doubt it matters when you say it.
I read this and I thought "that's correct". That was before I noticed who'd written it. Nice to have a friend with intelligence AND correct manners.

I've done it before, if they are polite about it, I may offer a draw, or I'll ask do they see the mate. I don't think it comes off as rude but I can see how someone may find it a bit offensive. I think it's not what you do, it's how you go about doing it, so if you're going to do that, at least offer the person some kind of consolation or give them a tip or something at the end of the game. I've said it and I'll continue to say it, losing is painful, it hurts to lose, be kind!
You may say whatever before, or after a game, but during a rated game chess etiquette requires to stay silent.
Depends on the situation.

I don't think I've ever heard the phrase "etiquette requires" before. That seems like an oxymoron.
Isn't etiquette something voluntary? I always thought it was being polite, considerate, or civil. A requirement is something you have to do, under threat of enforceable punishment if you don't.
Do the rules of chess really require people to stay silent?

As silent as is humanly possible. I've ignored those rules a few times ... once to save someone dying of a heart attack. My opponent didn't even stop the clock but the man was saved. I lost on time.
I was wondering though .... is it rude to say "excuse me" before mating?

I know it's good form to be quiet, but I didn't know it was a rule. Does anyone know what rule that is?
The reason I ask is because if there is a rule that someone can't make any noise, and lets say the punishment is loss of the game if you make a noise, then what happens if this exact scenario takes place? Someone says good game right before checkmate. Does he lose because he was not silent?

Absolutely. And you could read the rules in general, and article 12.6 in particular before asking.
It is forbidden to distract or annoy the opponent in any manner whatsoever.
Of course, this does include talking, with few exclusions (offering a draw, pointing an illegal move and such).

I usually say gg wp if it was a nice game, if I lost. If I win, I don't say anything.

So your opponent lost the game and you say gg. Yeah big deal. It's not like your opponent died.

I'm so sorry for hurting your feelings. It won't happen again. Are you alright?

You can also just say it after your first move so you don't forget.
