This is such an interesting tactic, but very rare. It was lucky that black made such a blunder.

I just liked the opportunity to use it. I wasn't aware of such an idea until I had an realization during a game against my Dad where I had to use this to get a #. After that I looked through a couple of websites to find this idea. I've been trying to implicate it ever since.
It's just further proof that whichever player knows more tactics is more likely to win.

Actually, Black's blunder was only made because if Black took with the Queen, white would fork the King and Queen with nh6. Ultimately, this situation is somewhat better for black, as it led to him being able to at least take the knight.
This puzzle is a good example of interference. I've never had the opportunity to use this before. Even though it isn't an entirely ideal example because black makes an error, I checked with the computer and white's moves are accurate.
