Highest Wins by checkmate ratio?

Checkmate or die is my motto, so my ratio seems pretty decent: 276 checkmates from 657 rated wins overall across all time controls.
...not sure about what % that is, but is it a good number or completely average? What is yours?

6 / 29, which, to be honest, was quite a surprise for me, I expected much less. I play mostly classical and there people rarely have the patience to play a lost game all the way to a checkmate.

@mkubecek and you're playing at a higher level, so the mates are harder to dish out!

My chess .com stats are similar: 44% checkmate ratio from 1,061 rapid wins

Well isn't this a pointless stat when most players resign one move before you mate them? xxx

@SimonBirch 'Nearly mates' would be a pointless stat! Either way 44% were not quick enough to resign or didn't see the mate coming

Yeah fair enough if they didn't see it then I guess it's quite good xxx

Hmmm, interesting numbers for me:

Across 4247 wins:
2173 flags (~51%)
1611 resignations (~38%)
463 checkmates (~11%)

Across 4284 losses:
944 clock flags (~22%)
1585 resignations (~37%)
1755 checkmates (~41%)

The numbers get more interesting by rating:

2600+ (significantly above my rating) (98 games):

15 wins:
8 clock flags (~53%)
5 resignations (30%)
2 checkmates (~17%)

81 losses:
22 clock flags (~27%)
27 resignations (~33%)
32 checkmates (~40%)

2600-2200 (reasonably above my rating) (3510 games):

1362 wins:
817 clock flags (~60%)
378 resignations (~28%)
167 checkmates (~12%)

2023 losses:
653 clock flags (~32%)
566 resignations (~28%)
804 checkmates (~40%)

2200- (around my rating or below, I don't play people below 1900 however.) (5299 games):

2875 wins:
1350 clock flags (~47%)
1231 resignations (~43%)
294 checkmates (~10%)

2186 losses:
270 clock flags (~12%)
994 resignations (~45%)
922 checkmates (~43%)

I do have a habit of playing badly at night which decreases my W/L rate but generally I play any player that enters my seeks. I did get back from a hiatus of developing my opening on anonymous chess but I still need to improve some things. It should be noted that I do not play like most players but am still relatively successful.
