Most aesthetic checkmates & cool positions you had

I'll start with mine: greek gift folllowed by O-O-O# (yes, I didn't checkmate earlier because I wanted that cool castling checkmate)


This position seems so weird and unusual but it’s actually stalemate in atomic :/

This is another one, mate in the middle of the board

You played rather poorly after move 28. Why allow the king to come to ur side?? Why not 29 Rg1 followed by 30 Rg4 there??
And it's really bad that u allowed the stalemate. You could have won, with all that material u had.

The aesthetic experience of chess: When a chess player can coordinate their pieces to execute smothered checkmates or fork major pieces, they begin to find aesthetic pleasures in playing the cool game of chess.
