  GrahamClayton: Here is a nice finish by Urseanu against Anastasiad in 1949:

♖h7# mate is impossible due to the f7-pawn, while any discovered check loses to 1...♖xd4.

White won with the problem-like 1. ♗d5!, blocking the Black queen from defending f7 and the Black rook from attacking d4. Now 1...♖xd5 2. ♖xf7! and Black resigned.
