Tactical sharpness kicking in

I've long been wanting to get good at sharper tactical games with little time to think. The tactical trainer is great but there you get minutes to calculate a line. Here, it is only 5 minute chess where having a nose for tactical ideas is key so you can gain the initiative and push your appointment back.

 

Finally, I get a game where my opponent's passivity lets me whip up a an attack which I prosecute with a level of accuracy I'm extremely pleased with. And it involves a strong (albeit non-winning) piece sac that my opponent cannot deal with. I suspect this is a really easy sac for a strong player but for me I was really pleased by how I was able to set it up several moves in advance, seeing the potential for a sac and make best preparations for it... and to follow it through with a winning blow. All against a player with a decently higher rating.

Now if only I can kick my habit of simply hanging pieces in 5 minute games, I might get better at this game.
