Unusual Move made was 18 Bd6
[d] rnb1k1nr/p2p1ppp/8/1pbN1N1P/4PBP1/3P1Q2/PqP5/R4KR1 w kq - 0 18
This sacrifice was not considered sound by either Hiarcs 6 or Fritz but the end
result was inevitable. Any other engines pick this unusual variation?
From the notes from "The Worlds Greatest Chess Games"
Three better moves are available, such as d4, Be3, and Re1 but are not as
stylish. Hiarcs and Fritz select Nd5-e7+
From the same game another sacrifice that needed 1/2 hours of calculation to be
seen by Crafty or Gambit Shredder
