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
Yes I have. Thread 91218. I even got a challenge with Korch going on. But alas I never found the time to seriously study The System...
Anyway thanks for the input about the backward knight sac. Those little rascal moves are tough to spot that's for sure.
