Hi Viv
Nice sensible opening and I do like the Knight sac to feint an attack
on the Bishop when your real target was the King.
And that is the game. Checkmate. Excellent!
However......when you Queen was on c3 it was pinning that d2 Knight
and that d2 Knight was doing an important job.
Regarding white's knight, I don't think it could've done anything to help, unless you see something I don't. If white blocks check with the knight instead of the bishop:

Don't kick yourself too hard Viv.
You saw the winning idea and stuck to it.
Me, you, everyone here and in the real world has missed quicker wins.
Morphy, Tal, Fischer......
I never saw the Knight sac in the few seconds I looked at the game before clicking on.
After he played 34.fxg4 the position is open to all kinds of ideas.
I was looking at the mating patterns from here.
If the d2 Knight was not a Knight then Rf1 mate.
If that Rook was not covering e2 then Rf1+ NxR Qe2 Mate.
The Rook is being held by a Queen undo that and the d2 Knight in pinned.
(mental note Rf1+ won't work as NxR holds h2.)
That c1 Bishop is hanging to Rc8, which can give a stem idea also
saccing the Knight. (the clue to a Knight sac being in the title.)
Something like this.
It's not forced but it is from the lump of clay you throw on
the chessboard to shape into a working model.
From that you create your masterpiece.
(I like that note, I'm going to tidy it up and use it again.)

We are trying to show the lad how some of us see the patterns and ideas.
my last note.
"Well that bit works. Now you go back and see if White has anything
better than not taking the Knight"
I like your move but I can see 'The Instructor' has not added a diagram
or given any lines. (Join in anytime you want RJ but use the features.)
The lads need to see the ideas in action, not read about them.
So it still appears White cannot take the Knight. Good.
Amongst other things there are two either way perpetuals hiding in there.
I'll pull them out.
