What is your favorite type of checkmate?

mine is two rook mate

Any long forced checkmate.

Philidor's Mate. I've gotten it a few times.

Something I've calculated long in advance feels the best

But the mate that looks the best is smothered prolly

Sometimes I don't have time to attend to all my pieces, which often results in my important pieces being captured

So how can I achieve a balance between offense and defense?

I like that, but I also like when you pin the king down with a rook on 1 row and the queen on the row on top of that.

Is there anyone who can play chess with me and teach me this technique? I only know the most basic way of playing chess; I don't know any special strategies or formations to attack my opponent
