Can any one point me to a game - doesn't have to be famous, can even be a puzzle or exercise - which features a brilliant Rook move to c2?  Want it for a chess club logo.

Is this a White Rook?

I found this where Black resigned after Rc2. not spectacular, but good enough to beat Adolf

I'm beginning to think Rc2 wa Anderssen's least favourite move...

Thanks rooperi. Did some googling and found out that Rc2 was the final move in Fischer's "game of the century" v. Donald Byrne at the 1956 Roswald Memorial Tournament in NYC. 
 


Still looking for a game where Rc2 is awarded an exclaimation point, though.

I think the one in #5 deserves an exclam......

^^ Agreed.  Followed the game just now and that's a nifty move.  Definitely exclaimation mark worthy.
