[D]r2q1rk1/pp4pp/5p2/4pb2/1PPp3Q/P1n1PP2/3R2PP/4KBNR b K - 0 1 Quinteros-Ribli, Montilla 1974 In this GM battle the black pawn on d4 is about to fall. But black's lead in development is so great that he can unleash a mating attack against the poorly placed white king, by sacrificing his queen for a rook and planting a pawn on e3. This is far from "gambling with a sacrifice". It is simply chess. White's pieces are not participating in the game, so the "normal" pawn counting is not valid. And white is punished severely for neglecting his development. The game went: 1.-dxe3! 2.Rxd8 Rfxd8 3.Be2 Rd2 (White is completely tied up. Note the constricting part played by pawn e3.) 4.g4 Bd3 5.Kf1 Nxe2 6.Nxe2 Rxe2 7.Kg1 Rd8 0-1 Test: We wanna see them programs play 1.-dxe3! ;) Sune
