I can die happy after finding this combination. My opponent was rated 200 pts higher, had just beaten me after I faltered in time pressure with a winning position, and he/she immediately hit rematch. I know some people do that out of some sort of etiquette, but it always riles me, as I think they think you're a soft touch and want the points. Anyway, he/she was one of these instant movers, so, again getting a pretty good position with a strong center, I decided to risk some thinking time in a 3-minute game and realised there was a situation where I could drag the opponent's king out, sacrifice a bishop, which if taken with the h-pawn would land me a rook, and if taken with the king would allow me to play Rh6!! followed by Qf6+ and g4#. It just shows the power of the Queen on the long diagonal!
