Queen sacrifice

Hello everybody. I joined this site a few days ago and this was the most exciting game for me so far (certainly balancing out my demotivating blunders in the other games).

I am posting this game because I sacrificed my Queen yet for some reason I managed to win. The sacrifice "felt right" in that moment but now it just looks extremely stupid, especially seeing how much material I lost shortly thereafter. I now wonder if I won only because I made my opponent feel too safe (if I was him I'd have felt safe too).

The tactic is nice. You could have taken with the knight instead :P
