(Sutovsky-Glek)

This position appeared in a German GM-tournament where the game went on with:

1.Rc7!? Nxf6 2.exf6 Qd2 3.Re7+ Kd8 4.Rcc7 Qxd3 1/2 because of perpetual check on
the 7th row.

Question is: Is this queen sac correct=can black play for a win after the 2nd
white move or can black play for a win and play a better move than 2...Qd2?

Juniors eval decreases from about +2.4 at d=17 down to +1.4 at d=21 for 2...Qa4
3.Ne5 Kd8 in favour of black. But counting the material black should be up 4-5
and not 1.4 so Junior sees some compensation... :-)
