The following miniature was played at the
Belconnen Chess Club this evening. Black lost a pawn due to the 'breaking a pin with check' trick, but tried to hang on by starting a kamikaze run with his king. It didn't survive long. At the completion of the game White demonstrated one cute variation where the Black king makes it all the way to the end of the board before being checkmated by castling. I've included the variation on the notes.

Oh, the pain of it ... C'est l'echecs...
There is a famous Edward Lasker vs Thomas game where the king can be mated by castling, however Lasker opted to checkmate by playing a discovered king move. I am not sure what looks prettier. A king move resulting in checkmate or castling resulting in checkmate
