Still Instant
Last year I pointed out that a position in the Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit should have spelled "Instant Victory" for White – in which the first player had a forced checkmate – it had in fact yielded only a 66% score in 155 games in The Database.
The number of examples has grown since then by about 20, but the score for White remains the same.
Lucky for me, I read and remembered that post, and I recently scored my second "instant" victory.
perrypawnpusher - theferno
blitz, FICS, 2011

Last year my opponent played the sharp 5...Ke6 in Ronels - theferno, FICS, 2010, (1-0, 34).

This is the position to recall.
Last year my opponent played the correct 6...g6 against me and I had to out-play him from a roughly equal position in perrypawnpusher - theferno, blitz, FICS, 2010 (1-0, 28).
