Very Complex Game

I just finished a very interesting game on here.

Game 3481901

I'm particularily interested in my Knight sac. Was it perfectly sound?

Any comments would be appreciated.

if you mean sound as in a guaranteed check mate... no. Black could have moved 24...Qxe6 instead of 24...Bxe6 ,but it does look you have a very good attack with it.

I'm not sure if the knight sac is 100% sound, but whether it is or isn't, you are to be commended for playing it, since it continues the attack in the most forcing manner. However I would note that your 14. e6 unnecessarily complicates the game, mainly because 14. exf6 instead would have won easily.

It took me a while to work out, but IMO it is sound:-

Qb6? Bxc5 Qxc5? b6+ Kb8 [Qxb6 Rxb6 Kxb6] Qg3+ 1-0


Qxe6? b6+ Ka6 [Kb8? Bxc5 Ra6 Qh7 Qe8 Qc7+] Rb2 ...with Ra1+ to follow.


declining the sac is also bad:-

Kb8 Bf4+ Bd6 Bxd6+ Qxd6 Nxd6

Kb6? Nd4+ ...1-0
