Have you seen any Grandmaster games from within the last ten years that have ended in a checkmate? I have rarely seen one lately. Please tell me who and the game. Thank you! :)

It is probably more than 10 years, but i heard rumors that Karpov got checkmated by Yudasin in winning position under extreme time pressure, but he claimed he didn't end his move with hand still on his queen. Yudasin agreed to play new game and lost. More discussion is here.

Do computers count as grandmasters? If so, there's the infamous Fritz-Kramnik game at http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1440796 which I've always found funny. I doubt you'll find many examples, but I could be wrong.

Also the World Blitz championship in Moscow 2009 saw a whole bunch of checkmates: Carlsen-Jakovenko, Gelfand-Morozevich, Anand-Carlsen, etc.

 It looks like Karpov actually won the game but no checkmate i see.

happens in blitz games, or when time is very short.
