It's not the most typical M#2... my guess anyway.
Well, it's not the most typical, but at least the whole section of Nunn's book "1001 Deadly Checkmates" is devoted to middlegame mating nets using a far advanced pawn. But this is blitz, any kinds of blunders are likely to happen there. Here are more examples: chess24.com/en/read/news/5-incredible-missed-mates
Not gonna beat around the bush with this one.
Salimova and Carissa Yip are terrible. There you go.
Oh and this was not blitz they just were in time pressure.

At blitz many GMs miss a mate in one. At longer time controls, Carlsen missed a mate in three, Krammik missed a mate in one, and many have resigned in a won position.
Stop picking on the youngsters.

It's not the same thing because Yip was not in time pressure she had a long time to think even if her opponent was under time pressure at the end she is A Fide Master, A lot of 1750+ can find the mate in under 40 seconds if not then 1800+. this is not a complicated mate in 3 like Carlsen or it's more than Ivanchuk mate in 1 against Anand. THIS IS A CHESS BLINDNESS

And it's not blitz it was an hour and a half + 30 sec increment
@Wolfram_EP I had a laugh at the gimmicky book title. Is there a checkmate that _isn't _deadly?
Deadly checkmates? Does that mean they are lethal? Will they kill an opponent? I was pretty nervous completing the CAPTCHA.........
