Diagramed is the position after 22...Qe6?? from Skipworth-Zukertort, played during round five of Zukertort's crowning triumph: the 1883 international tournament in London. Skipworth played 23.Ra1?? and went on to lose the game. Zukertort later claimed that the moves were misreported and thus the tactic was never available, despite annotating it himself for the tournament book and giving 22.Qe6 Ra1 neither comment nor symbol.

Diagramed is the position after 23...Nxd4 from a game between Zukertort and an amateur player, John Adair. The full game is given below, where you can see that Zukertort missed the mate in three and resigned shortly after. Zukertort later denied that he ever had a mate available, claiming that the game's moves were misreported--see clippings below. Note that this was 1884, when Zukertort had a reasonable claim to the title of world champion.

Another fascinating tidbit from The Chess Player's Chronicle and Journal of Indoor and Outdoor Amusements (July 18, 1883). For context, Zukertort had just convincingly won the London 1883 tournament.
