Rowson-Kaminski, 1995 went: 1.Rd2 [A terrible blunder would be the much too anxious 1.Bxf6?? because of 1...Qb2+ 2.Bxb2 axb2+ 3.Kb1 Ra1#] 1...Qxb3 2.Bxf6 Qb2+ 3.Rxb2 axb2+ 4.Kb1! 1-0 White could blow the win with 4.Kxb2?? Rab8+ and it’s a perpetual check and draw. After Kb1 Black resigned because of 4...Ra1+ 5.Kxb2 Rb8+ 6.Kxa1 Ra8+ 7.Kb2 Rb8+ 8.Kc3 Rc8+ 9.Kd4. Culled from GM Paul Motwani’s H.O.T. Chess.
