Someone on the English Chess Forum posted a game from the European Club Cup between Mate Bagi and Vadim Zvjaginsev.
White (whose name is an anagram of 'A Big Mate' ) resigned after 61. ... Rg6, depriving us of the lovely finish:

Instead of resigning after black played 61...Rg6 why not play

62.Bg5+

That's better than resigning or pushing the pawn and losing.
Right?

Nope!
LoL
62.Bg5+...Kf5
And white loses by the same method as above.
Interesting position.
