Dacha Tactics #122 - Light "Turkey" dacha!"

Had this vs an Australian GM. It started in a Budapest gambit, and despite looking fairly quiet, there is a color imbalance! It's our Knight vs his dark bishop, which means we're -500 dark but +500 light. Note that his king is on light; the light bishop bears down, and his queen is on light. Our Knight tickles light as well as does our queen. Let's dig deep for the knockout blow(s)! This was awarded a 3-move triple brilliancy by chess.com – "Turkey dacha"😄
