This is a CC game I just lost on Chess.com. I was feeling really pleased with myself, as I felt I had ground out a big positional advantage, then, bam! Thought I'd post it as a puzzle...

Ouch indeed. Yep, I played g4?? if you can believe it, trying to chase the Knight so I could play Rxh6. It's a painful game, this.

at first I thought an immediate Nh4 would be better but then white has Ne7

Immediate Nh4?? is followed by Rxh6+ and Rxh4.
