Great Puzzle

Several mates, only one in three & that one, starts with a dramatic sac. Fun!

Really beautiful

Easy to see the solution (here of course not in a match) but beautiful anyway.

A sacrifice to pin the queen and get rid of the stronger piece protecting the king and a 2nd sacrifice with the check of the knight to force the opening of the deadly rook column.

I want to play like this when I grow up!
