Amir Ban also replied it.

See http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?133317

Amir believes that the sacrifice gives chances for both sides to win.
I am interested to know if tiger can get more than 50% against other programs by
Rc6.

My guess is that the result of Rc6(assuming no mistakes) is a draw and the
question is if tiger is smart enough to get practically more than 50% with Rc6.

The only way to know is by testing gambittiger against other programs from the
position after Rc6.
