Hello Michael

As you also suggest it is not only a matter of analysis, but also a matter of
intuition and knowhow on the KI attack schemes. The alternative instead of the
sac was Nc3 and than the path is clear for black as in your remark, actual some
of your suggested moves were played. This scheme of attack in the KI is well
known. Therefor i decided to go for the sac. The position that arose after the
sac is the position i like to play with the white pieces, and not with the black
pieces. I'm not saying that is a winning sac for white but it is a promissing
alas the only move to make something out of the game. I expect that these kind
of decision making is very difficult to fit in any engine. If you are interested
i can paste the complete game here.
