I do not think that the word sacrifice is correct here. 4 pawns is considered to be more than a piece so the player that sacrificed was yace but it seemed that yace was outsearched because yace evaluats the position at move 26 also as better for hiarcs. There are 2 possibilities: 1)Yace was lucky to be outsearched and got a winning position that it did not understand. 2)Hiarcs blundered some moves after getting a big advantage by winning 4 pawns for a piece. I did not check to find which possibility is true. Uri
