Show off your PRETTIEST checkmates!

You should still show it.

I won't make people suffer with this next one as a puzzle though
Here's the game with the checkmate really beginning at move 60

I don't have the game, but I do have the last few moves from the position:
Be3 is actually a bad move according to the engine (apparently I should have played Bxh3+ to expose the king), but it still worked. Being a super low Elo player was fun.

Very pretty! And honestly, just as impressive is the knight/bishop checkmate, bloody difficult.
I raise you this, though, which is one I've only had OTB. One day I hope to replicate it online, too....

Oi, no advertising on my forum (Jk you're good mate)

This was probably one of my most satisfying wins.
I actually did have to do a bishop and knight checkmate in an otb game (and it was livestreamed too!) but opp put up very little resistance.
Hello you lot! Enjoyed a very aesthetically pleasing checkmate in a blitz game this afternoon and wanted to share with you all. It got me thinking - what are your prettiest, most visually appealing checkmates?
