I followed a hunch and it paid off:
Game 8140706
But how sound was that tactic really?

A very quick glance but possibly Bxf6 before Nd5 and definitely
8.Qxe7 mate instead of 8.Nxf6+
Edit (I've missed mate in one twice OTB. Once when in mid combination
and the other because I thought I had two ways to mate in one.
The one I chose was not a mate in one. Luckily I won both games.)
Edit 2: Keep following those hunches.

If Black had found 4...Nxd5, White would be in big trouble. The only positive for White would be that there are numerous lines to choose from and lots of tactics. But if Black doesn't blunder, White is toast.
But in the end, you got away with it. 🙂
