The following position is from Karpov - Yusupov 1988.  This is what FM Graham
Burgess says about what he considers the brilliant move 16 d5!!

"This pawn sacrifice both gives the white knight an ideal post in the centre and
opens several lines for the other white pieces."

Phoenix Genius finds the pawn sacrifice in 1'29" with a plus score of 1.03 while
Chessmaster default and SKR can't even find it after 5 minutes.
