After I spent all morning making a case against one of your sacrifices, mine
likes this one after a minute or two.  I think I would like 1. ... Nf6 as well,
but I bet you won the game.

I wouldn't be too bothered by this, since it looks like you get some interesting
play.

I think you can get the pawn back easily if you really want to.
