Hi,

 

I don't post here much, but in a recent game, I had this mind boggling position. I sacrificed a pawn to get an ever so slight positional advantage as is my style of play, but what I did not realize at the time my sacrifice easily won the game. In the end the game was tied but had I seen this tactic it would of been one of the nicest chess wins of my life. Can you spot it?

 

 Do not beat yourself up too much if you don't see it, took my a while in analysis to figure this one out. Its games like these that make me wonder if theres beautiful combinations that I miss all the time because my little mind can't comprehend the possibilities...

Great puzzle, I didn't get it, but swings and roundabouts. Really liked the played through mate, but I would agree with AmerAyverdi I think black should play Ne8 rather than Qxh2 tbh (but then you'd just pressure the queen so every cloud.
