Here's one of the most famous ones:

This one is a more artistic interpretation of "King move checkmate" - not a literal one!

A friend of mine, a 1700 players, had given up playing and
not pushed a pawn for years.
I showed him the then recent Short -Timman game.
The game inspiired him so much he picked up the piece again.

Although the thread has gone slightly off track.
(I'll appear later with some King mating moves from RHP - if I can find one).

This King march from 1930 deserves to be more well known.

Henri Weenink - Louis Gans 1930

I don't think it was planned , who knows?
I just wonder when White thought: "Hang on...I have an idea here."

SwissGambit's first example is a peach and a new one on me. Nice one.

Also - no excuses needed for the king walks either.

If I was Weenink I'd have retired from chess the day after that and spent the rest of my life accosting strangers:

"Have you ever heard about the time I beat Louis Gans by walking the king up the board in the middle game? Yes, that was me. Let me show you how it went..."

Great stuff up in here.

...or your Bishop move checkmates...we really don't mind. :-D

Shortest castles with mate. White 14 moves.

Are there examples of forced king moves that 'accidently' checkmate the attacker? Reminds me of that artificial game in which one player was forced to checkmate the other.
