Game 2764496
Bishop sac to remove knight which was blocking my queen's access to the severely under pressure f2(pinned by bishop, so my advanced pawn may have been able to cause problems there as well. Also opening h file with rook already on there, leaving white with a very dangerous defensive position, albeit with a strong attack and material advantage.

Rook sac to get king onto open h file so as to attack f2 with gain of tempo.

Cheers, I saw the motif in an example on rook sacs to gain tempo, which was kind of like this...Game 1047488.

TBH, I'm much happier about the bishop sac; the rook sac followed easily from that.
