This one (from a very long time ago) was in fact fully intentional, but the fact that my opponent actually fell for it left me so dumbfounded that I had to sit there for several seconds and see if I missed something 💀

In game 1 I was hoping for a bunch of checks but instead got a sort-of Boden's Mate, and in the second one I got jumpscared when I played what I thought was a normal check

The second one, you missed to take his rook at end of the forking-sequence. However you got yourself a shine-y new king! grin

I love when this things happen.
