Nice... although they can take it back with 5... Bb4+ 6. c3 Rxd8. You still get a bishop out of it though.

good insight, i didn't see that before, nor did my opponent, so now the post should be free bishop + dislodge king

yes, free bishop... although then there's an alternate solution which is equally valid IMO: 3.e5 -- so now it's free minor piece + expose king

with 3. e5 there's no way black can avoid losing the knight, but the knight is not free because 3. ... Bg7 wins back the pawn, so the net increase in material is not as much as the original solution to the puzzle.
