Here is a puzzle that I have adapted from a recent game I played.  I've posted it because I thought the position was interesting.  I'm looking for comments on other possible moves

Wow, indeed interesting, and this was in a real game?
Lucky you!
And i think this are forced moves, your opponent actually couldn´t not do Nxd4, and then the mate follows...

In the game the rook on b1 and the pawn on e2 were not there and the bishop was a pawn.  However I really liked the sneaky way I was able to get the knight and I thought in puzzle form it looked better the way I posted it.  Here's how it looked in the game

I didn't think it looked as good in the game as it does in my original post.  Yet another pattern to try and keep in mind though:-)

Hehe, this looks indeed different! A nice sac with a good position afterwards, nice work, and thanks for posting your game!
