This is not a constructed puzzle. It is a real game:

Zagrebelny vs Ponyi, Hungarian Championship, 1992.  Black's blunder was . . . 17 exd5.  Instead Black should have played Qc7 -- but, even then White had an advantage. 

This was a puzzle from chessgames.com for June 21, 2009.  They do their puzzles from real games.

This is what the guys at chessgames had to say about the puzzle and game:

This problem came from Informant. We may be able to track down Zagrebelny's own analysis, but we doubt it would add much to what has already been posted.

We weren't sure if this problem was best run on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday; but nobody in the office came close to seeing the solution so we decided to give it Sunday honors. There are only four moves to see here, and the first one (16. Nxf7!) is almost a given. However, those next three moves are killers.

Sergey Zagrebelny is one of the lesser known grandmasters but certainly one who deserves attention--his games are littered with sparkling combinations such as this one.

ok...

nice tnx

Awesome combination - thanks.

It's magic, but 2...exd5 is not forceful!

what was the magicmove then?

I must admit.....it took me a 100 attempts to find it. Very very clever.
