The game ends in a draw, but I have to wonder if Shredder would've brought home
the full point at longer time controls (game was blitz 10 6). I'll let others
argue about whether the sacrifices were tactical or positional (I tend to think
of it as a little of both since it exposes the enemy King without a clear
material gain...anyway, take a look at the postiion at white's 22nd move...I'd
post a diagram if I knew how (is there an FAQ on that somewhere for this forum?)
