Unusually I did spot it in the game. 5 minute blitz too. But that's not the point - who else has got a mate in ... they want to share?

Black to play. Mate in 3 to 5, depending how spiteful white's feeling.

Good one - took me a few goes to get it, it wasn't as intuitive as it looked.
Here's one that came up in a recent game for me. Black to move and mate in 6 moves or less - it took me 6 in the game. White has a number of options after Black's next move but I believe the mate cannot be stopped.
