I don't normally post tactics from my own games (usually a little too self-congratulatory for my liking) but I recently finished up a game that had some "cute" little tactics thrown in there. Black to move:
[pgn]
1. d4 Ng8f6 2. Bc1g5 e6 3. e4 h6 4. Bg5h4 g5 5. e5 gxh4 6. exf6 Qd8xf6 7. Ng1f3 b6 8. Bf1e2 Bc8b7 9. O-O Rh8g8 10. h3 Bf8d6 11. Qd1d3

Qg7 looks like it should work. I was a little unclear with the original position-- the actual tactic comes one move later. Sorry:

nice indeed. almost looks like it should be one of greenpawn's 'classic mating patterns'.
not to detract from your achievement but your opponent must have been suicidal castling into that open g file with the bishop pointing at g2, the queen well in the attack and the second bishop about to join in too.
"...usually a little too self-congratulatory for my liking..."
Not at all, people are learing things, and if people don't show
then how are they meant to see.
Good game.
Here is one with the same theme.
White nicks back his gambit pawn.
The tempo he gained with Black taking it was squandered with 3.e5
Black reversed the roles and offered a pawn, the original gambiteer
became the greedy one.
White nicks a pawn opening up the g-file...
The end give a clue to the solution to the above puzzle.
Here we see it in it's rawest form, Chesskid iced the cake.
