Good. You have taken a bit of time somewhere to study or look
at the opening P & Q's. You opponent has not so you wacked him.
You had a backward Knight sac to mate with a pawn in the same
number of moves.
14.Nc4+ vacating e5 for the pawn. 14...bxc4 15.e5 mate.
Always difficult to see OTB a backward Knight sac

Anyway thanks for the input about the backward knight sac. Those little rascal moves are tough to spot that's for sure.
