A very speculative Knight sac that worked (the play isn't completely horrible)

There are blunders I didn't see, I'm sure. But I really wanted to share that knight move with the players here. Any comments on the game, specifically the soundness of my sac (snicker snicker), are welcome and appreciated.

That was entertaining!  I do think that you had a simpler win with 39... e3.  Also, White can draw with 52 Rxa2+ Kxa2 53 Rxd2+ Kb3 54 Rd5 Rg1 55 Kf2 Rg3 56 Rf5 followed by 57 Rf3.  He can even play 53 Kxd2, since 53... Rxd1+ 54 Kxd1 g4 55 Ke2 g3 is an unusual drawn endgame.

ok. nice game, but: what if white plays 42. Ra4?  it seems to let the knight die in vain!
