Cool tactic I found in a 5 min game. See if you can find it!

In a 5 min blitz game, I came across this position as white and found a nice little tactic that I thought would be nice to share. Not too difficult. See if you can find it!

I was excited when I saw this forum, but I don't see a single post that mentions Joshua Waitzkin, the chessmaster lectures, "maintaining the tension", "the downward spiral", or "the art of learning".

Well, I've been campaigning for "Best Group Manager of the Year" for many months now, but since Chesskween has thrown her hat into the mix, I haven't been able to post a single comment anywhere. I'd feel too guilty competing against her. So I'm switching my campaign to "Member of the Year" since it's the only other one that I'm in contention for (although I was a lot closer in the other one).
Good Luck Jane. I'll tell people to vote for you. I hope you do the same for me.

as of right now i'm not planning on going to the school for chess club; so unless there is a surge of people here who let me know they are planning on it i won't be there; however i am happy to go because we do have state finals next weekend!!

this game was against my brother who is a solid player but hasn't played in years, seriously just a few tactics lessons and he would likely dominate me. - i'm white and it appears my annotations are a move ahead of where i want them, so figure it out sorry
