Great Escapes

Alright, everyone who has a good example of making one of those moves where as soon as your finger clicks the mouse, your heart skips and a groan escapes you as you notice looming checkmate (or something equally devastating), only to find, to your elation, that your opponent gracefully misses the opportunity - post it in here.

This game is still in progress, but it's a perfect example. Note moves four and five.

It isn't illegal to comment on the game or mention it as an example of something that has already happened in that game. We can talk about it all we want, as long as we do not help him in any way. So no commenting on the merits of his position or what he should do, but it seems to me that him remarking that one of his games in progress is an example of something is perfectly legal.

Both questions, you can't unless if you search for them. Good luck.
