I'm pretty sure every player at some point has checked the king without realizing that check was actually mate. Usually it's when time is running down and you're pretty sure the check is gonna lead to mate in the next move or two, but don't have time to calculate all the details. Pretty nice surprise though when it happens. And your opponent doesn't know you didn't mean to do it.
