Know thy classics

From yesterdays play at the 2012 Ryde-Eastwood weekender. Joshua Bishop executed the standard Bxh7 sacrifice against the castled king, and mated his opponent. Of particular interest to those that collect such sacrifices for teaching purposes, Bishop successfully dealt with the Kg6+f5 defence, which is often the toughest nut to crack.
