One of the 'stock' tactical tricks I learnt when I first started studying chess was how to sneak the queen into g6. Normally this depended upon White having a bishop pinning the f pawn (otherwise fxg6 is embarrassing) as well as a knight on g5 to support the mate threat on h7. I'm not sure I've ever played it in a long time control game, but I've certainly used it in the odd blitz game or two.
Here is a text book example of the tactical idea in practice from a recent European open.
