21. Rxb7 |
A brilliant sacrifice that needed either very thorough calculation or just sheer bravery. Sometimes, intuition is the best tool in an attack. | ||||

22. Re8+ Kg7 23. Bc3+ f6 24. Rxg8+ Rxg8 25. Bxf6+ Kxf6 26. Qe7+ Kf5 27. g4+ |
And despite the huge material deficit, Black resigned because after 27...Kf4 28. Qe3 is mate. Summing up, I'd say this was one of the most direct and brave attacking games I've seen. I hope it will inspire you to create masterpieces like this one. | ||||
