The exchange sac was just what I was waiting for Nimzo to do, and I thought it would regret it (I was not the only one too). It turned out completely different. I am still puzzled how in this position white does not have time to play a rook to the back rank to take the backward pawns or meneuver the white king in front of the pawns. In the blocked position I was puzzled why Junior is not moving a rook to the first rank where it is not restricted by the black knight, and Alex Kure pointed out to me that the rooks are keeping the knight from moving around. At the faster time control Junior carelessly allowed the knight to go to e2 and f4. Amir
