Oh, this was glorious! I played very well - by my standards, anyway! - and capped the attack with a devastating combination.

I was so enamoured of my combination winning massive material that I overlooked a possible mate after an inaccurate response by white!

I don't know how to link to to the games (I am slumming it while my server is down), but if you don't see my win, make a comment!

An interesting position! Lichess' browser-based analysis doesn't list my move among the top three choices ... but when played, it gives the position a better evaluation!

This is pretty tricky and I confess I missed it completely - just like I missed a completely different forced mate on the previous move!
