What do you think the most satisfying checkmate is? Post a game with it or just simply say the name.
3 move checkmate
Not that I've ever go
*done it
The fact that you can mate in four and that it is kinda common is satisfying to me. There is a Fool's Mate (2 moves for Black, if White does it, 3 moves), but it is really rare, even among beginners.

It's a checkmate with 2 bishops and a rook, you use the bishops to confine the enemy king to a 1x2 area, then attack said area with the rook
Bishop and Knight Checkmate
The OTB one that came five moves after the opponent said "Draw!" and four moves after saying "I don't see how you can make any progress".

The 2-move mate @Heart-of-courage showed is really rare. I did a similar checkmate against one of my friends as White but it took 3 moves, and it was because my friend did the Duras Gambit and played 2...g5??.
Anyone that wins me a game.
