I think it gaves error when you look at this position.
Like when you play b3+ and they play d5 you take en passant. I don't think nobody did anything like that.

Two knights checkmate is impossible unless your opponent blunders.
Double disambiguated bishop and en passant checkmate

it's possible, they just need a free pawn/piece
If you check my profile-the game against yasirmziri, you will see the rarest checkmate. I was close but blundered stalemate. The king must be on c2 and deliver checkmate with queen d1. Only 4 people, including me have gotten this checkmate.

nah
I got the checkmate finally after the game I played it physical against my dad
I'm not saying blundering stalemate counts

a few shy on the board and a last ditch effort that somehow resulted in mate?

OTB (over-the-board), played decades ago against David Paul-Elias in the Canadian Maritimes.

#92 pretty good one, think the rarest is the double disambiguated knight checkmate tho
I think it’s double disambiguated bishop capture checkmate. Yes that’s a thing 😂
Hikaru has a really popular video about it so maybe it’s not the rarest anymore due to his viewers trying to get it lol

In more than 50 years of playing chess, I don't think I've ever seen one of these, so it must be pretty rare.
(it's a composed position, not a game).
