Agreed, but eating the pawn with the knight instead of with the bishop was a much better move and does not lead to mate faster.

Awesome puzzle. If the knight takes the pawn, though, white can just check with the rook and then mate.

That was cool! That was a really nice attack, how did you get it or composed it?

Btw, the final position has a peculiar property. Not knowing the preceding solution you can't be sure that black is actually checkmated. Chances are about 75-25!

That was a good puzzle. Pretty tough with all of those sacrifices.
