Beautiful! Occasionally the difference between a sac and a swindle is original intent. Sometimes you get the idea, and then sac, while other times you "sac", and then get the idea!
Here's another candidate for the "Slimey" Award. I dropped a piece in the middlegame due to overconfidence, and then went into swindle mode. I was looking for a rep in the end, but I knew there was a chance for one of those cheapo checks that draws away the king when your opponent offers a queen trade.
