The reason is that after the sacrifice when the same material advantage was on
the board Junior evaluated the position as close to equal.

Something was changed and I guess that it is the king safety.

I guess that Junior evaluates the two connected passed pawn of white as more
than 2 pawns and I guess also that the difference between two bishops and rook
and knight is evaluated as less than two pawns
