0-0# or 0-0-0#?

Has anyone seen a game or puzzle in which castling results in mate?

Edward Lasker's immortal didn't, but could have ended in O-O-O#:

However, as rare as O-O-O# is, I think O-O# is even that much more impressive.

Playing black, I once had a game end with o-o resigns. But I've never actually had a game end with o-o# or o-o-o#

A low level game, so not of all that much interest.

For some reason I still can't insert a game properly here lately. If anyone would like to create a board I'll delete the pgn.

edit: Thanks Anthony for doing up a board.

I'd possibly find others but I can't figure out how to do a chessbase search with a mating O-O or O-O-O.

I am sure I've clobbered someone with this before.  I remember thinking it was a first (for me anyway).  That's gonna annoy me now, got to track down that game.  Laughing

I'd like to see this game. If you don't have it anymore, then what was the case with resigning? King in the center or behind development too much and messed up position?

This is a very old thread, but I'll add this in case anyone ever looks it up:
