    Hi,

       this is a game I played on live chess that although was completely luck, had a wicked mating combination.  Enjoy!

I had a game recently where the other guy snatched a rook from me early but gave me a great attack leading to mate. The comments prompted me to look up some games by Morphy and I found a great one where Adolf Andersson grabbed a rook early and lost.

Both games are in the thread.

Not bad. 

Your opponent checked your king first, but then he got greedy and took the rook.  That was his downfall.
