Former US champion Frank Marshall played an interesting game where he tried to sac his Queen, but his opponent did not take the bait.  The next move, Marshall made another Queen move, sacrificing his Queen again.   This time his opponent had to take the Queen.  And that led to checkmate for Marshall.
