Feb-08-06  Fast Gun: Neat finale from Short, move 38 is a classic decoying move that also overloads the black Queen, for example: 38. Qxe5+ Qxe5
39. Rxf8+ Rxf8
40. Rxf8 Mate

Also
38. Qxe5+ Kg8
39. Rxf8+ Rxf8
40. Rxf8+ Kxf8
41. Qxd4
A good clean example of the execution of chess tactics:

  Benzol: Nice game from Nigel and if I'm not mistaken he was only 14 at the time and gained the IM title in the process at this tourney.

Short vs Ulf Andersson, 1979

Aug-25-17  Dabouras: This is used as an example in Kasparov's book Checkmate Tactics 2010 in the puzzles section.
