Uri,please every !! GM would say this is the only move in this position.The
position is totally hopeless without the sacrifice.Computers which not sacrifice
here are having one fail low after another after a overnight analyse.
It is the only move according to GM Seirawan.If you find one GM you will say the
opposite i stop playing chess in the next moment.My ELO is about 2100,not US
ELO.
