    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:
    Invert BoardPGNHeaders


    Here is the whole game in case you're interested:

    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.
