You can feel it, but can't see it

Sometimes your intuition just yells at you about a situation: there is a combination here, so find it!!! So you turn on the brain and look and look...

In this Blitz game -5/5 - I spent 3 minutes looking for the right response to his 8 h3. My intuition was yelling, but I just couldnt find the combination, eventually playing the lame 8...Bxf3, ending up with loss under massive time pressure.

But I think I have found it now:)  Yeah? I am Very Sure that I'm not the first to find this, and it probably has a name.

    Interesting! And good for White, as you show. I had a very close look 11...f5 but could not make it work. 12 g3 (to prevent Qh4) Qd3 (threatening Qxg3, because f2 is pinned) but after 13 Qf3 White is solid.

    Looks like - except in Blitz perhaps - Black is forced to retreat his B or exchange for the N. Oh well:) Thanks for the great response/analysis!

    8...h5 does look like an interesting try but I think white is ok with this.  :)  What do you think?  :)
