I thought it looked too good to be real (i.e. pre planned and played) but as the Knight sack is unsound it must be.
I know Geoff and others hate engines but I was curious:
15 kg4 was wrong - engine gives 15 Qh5 winning for white
However it could have been an even better finish!!... with 24 qb5 instead of nd5 - black plays 24 Kf8! with mate in 2, eg 25 qxb6 Re7 and any white move is met with mate with bishop moving away
Can't be the greatest game ever as its not sound... but certainly one of the most enjoyable to see played out, especially blitz.
