I love beautyfull combinations and like to play through games involving them.
If you know any beautyfull combination or have played them yourself post them here!!!
I'll start off with a game by anderssen. The combination starts after qxf3.

It's just so sudden. White of course actually walks into it but still the way Black dominates the game inspires me to one day play like that. Helps that it comes in a position near to that which I frequently end up in.
I had a game some time back, which had an attractive finish. You can see it here:

I played 34 Rc7+. She took the rook, and from there it was a 7 move forced mate. The line she actually took was a bit quicker, but it's fun to try to spot the longer combination!
I like this one:
