Your favourite mating pattern ?

The Scholars mate is the best checkmating sequence if theyre above 2500

and a bit more plausibly:

smothered mate

Anastasia's mate!

My favorite mate is Anastasias Mate. Something about what looks like a Backrankmate on the h- or a- file with the Knight and a Rook is just beautiful to me.

One knight in Bangcock and the world's your oyster

does Greek Gift Sacrifice count? Although not always mate, the sequence is beautiful. And if it is mate, good for you.

April Fool's Mate
