Missed Opportunity

It's time to get this blog back up and running, don't you think so ?
I played a game in the club championship a few weeks ago. I won the game, but I could have ended it earlier, I missed a simple mate in 2 :


White to move, I play white. My thoughts were fixed on winning his queen, so I played 14 Bxf6 without much thinking. I totally missed blacks answer : 14 ...Bf2+, winning back the queen...

Of course I should have played 14 Ng4+ ( 14 ... Kg7 15 Qh6#) !

You can replay the game here
