Very nice! It was Tal who said 'They can only take pieces one at a time' and your insistence on hanging three of your pieces at once would have brought a smile to his face, I'm sure.

Yes isn't that amazing what sacrifice and development can accomplish.  Material doesn't matter in chess if the pieces aren't in the game.

Nicely done! Black is actually doing fine until 14...f6??, and from there the attack is well coordinated, and quite devestating. I thought 11.Bxc4 was a well spotted move - the pay off is not immediate, and black should come out slightly ahead, but they did not defend accurately, and instead we get to enjoy the carnage Smile

Thanks for sharing this!
