Just wanted to get some opinions here regarding a bishop sac. The move led to mate in the end, but only because white slipped up. That said, i'm wondering if the sac was logical or not. Annotations are in game. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

15 ... Nf2 too slow?

I can't find anything. After 15. Kg3, looks like black will have to give up a second piece. He moved 15. Ke1 though, which only costs you one piece (the bishop you sac'ed), but I still can't see a way to continue the attack.

15 Kg3 loses the Queen to 15 ... Ne3+ or are my poor eyes missing something?

Pushwood, Kg3 (which is sounding like a better idea after Kxf2) doesn't loose the queen to ...nd3+(this must be what you meant) because the knight on the H file can take the queen. Looks like sucker's right- my attack was bad.
