Wow! Masterful. It was definitely a nice touch to shepherd the king at the end. In a similar vein, I had a game on another site where I decided to mess around at the end:
5 underpromotions and 1 queening.
Joined 19 Oct '08 Moves 26585 I thought this was a neat checkmate, trapping the King in the center of the board:

Joined 10 May '09 Moves 13341 Just finished this one, not spectacular but OK for a low level player. It may not belong because it's technically not mate (yet). It ended in resignation because the web was set.

Also,
Game 3347408 is unremarkable except that the final move is Bh1#
Joined 29 Aug '08 Moves 3038 Don't know if this is spectacular but it was unique and something of a surprise to get away with.

Joined 10 Oct '08 Moves 5740 I quite liked this one as I'd lost my Queen early in the game but finished with a nice rook king chase.

Joined 10 Oct '08 Moves 5740 Looking again at my game above from white's perspective I think I was rather fortunate to get away with a win, however it's the ending we are interested in isn't it 😀
Here is another game, a recent one, that I think is one of my best yet (not that, that is saying much) but considering when we started the game I was playing a 1700+ player for the first time and me a lowly (recent) 1575 player I was rather pleased with the result 🙂
