Did I make good sacrifice?

Today I play a I think nice game, but Is my Rxc6 bad or good? I don't know  What's you think?Laughing

Lucky I can checkmate finally at the end.

In my own personal opinion, if the sacrifice acheived the goal it was meant to achieve, it was worth it (aka good). Even if it didn't acheive was it was supposed to, but still turned out well, then it's good.

With regards to high-level tactics and strategies based on the situation though, I would have no clue. :P

Looks good and maybe 24 gf3 and advancing the f pawn to protect the e pawn?

My judgement may not be what it was in my playing days when i reached 2170 ELO though!

Houdini says: "No!" You had to play b5. After your sac your score goes down to -0.30 while it was 0.20 before.

I like the sac. I have no idea if Houdini's idea is better, but I understand the sac and what it accomplishes, and I think it's a good plan. 

Very nice mating combo at the end.
