I am not saying that the sacrifice is sound.  But it is a real sacrifice, and
it's interesting to figure out why it thought it had compensation.  It may have
worked against a computer, it's hard to tell.  The opponent blundered, no doubt,
but computers have a knack for giving you large compensation when you have small
compensation.
