Some real games played this month that had tactical themes

This first game was played in the ongoing London FIDE open (LFO). White just played 57.Rxc5? intending after 57...Rxc5 58.Ne3+ However can you find what white overlooked? 

This game was also played in the LFO.  Black has just played 50...Qxa3? threating mate. It should be easy to see what black has missed
This game, also played in the LFO, saw black play 26...Bf6? How do you proceed? 
Another game played in the LFO, Black played 36...Ra8 in a losing position. However he has forgotten about his king! White to mate in three
This was played in the British Knockout Championship between Michael Adams and Simon Williams. What tactical play did the ginger gm fall for after 22...Rf8
How about this finish from a game played in the SA Group Premier League? White played 40.Kd3 intent on blacks b-pawn. Black to move and win!
Or how about this one from the Hungarian Women's Championship?
Or this one from the Czech Extraliga?
Solved the rest!
Take down the super gm!
