In this game, Reti sucker punches Tartakower on move 9 with a mate in 3. (And yes, this game is the reason behind my screen name)

Very nice forced mate with queen sacrifice. I do remember getting a sucker punch from you in the benion opening I have yet to complete. So far I'm deciding whether or benion_benko combo open or the queen pawn opening lasker variation is better to play
it's a common mating pattern (sac queen to get a double check), but usually it happens later in the game. nobody expected that so early. The game was barely out of the opening, and out of nowhere comes this.
that was nice, is that a common mate or just something special:)i didnt even think about the queen sacrifice!
