Check out this beautiful short castle mate I just got in Rapid.

Was a pretty easy Petrov Defense game because my opponent blundered their queen and their position quickly crumbled afterwards. Had the opportunity to pull of a short castle checkmate and I succeeded.
And it's not really all that beautiful when White has nothing left (although you might well take the trophy for late castling). :)

Anyway, no need for all that. When you're up that much material, there's no need to run the king all over the board. For example, 25... Be1 wins immediately (the threat is Qf2#, and if 26 Ke3 Qe4 is mate).

I also tried to play with stockfish level 1
Also I completely get how unnecessary the King march was I just saw an opportunity to castle with mate and I took it lol.
