Hi Thomas,
Shredder 9 has been analyzing the position now for 10 minutes, and cannot come
up with your idea (see below).
I (a 2050 Élõ player) think the case is not so simple. The exchange sacrifice
may free the position but equalize? What does black get in exchange? I am sure
that sooner or later the material disadvantage will tell.
