I don't believe this is a 'sac'. IE your opponent shouldn't take it. If
he does (he did) you should have blown him out:
8 3.78 ++ 43. ... Qxe3+!!
8 14.12 2.52 43. ... Qxe3+ 44. Kh1 Rcf8 45. Qa6
Bf5 46. Rg2 Bd3 47. Ne7+ Rxe7 48. Qb7
Rff7
8-> 15.11 2.52 43. ... Qxe3+ 44. Kh1 Rcf8 45. Qa6
Bf5 46. Rg2 Bd3 47. Ne7+ Rxe7 48. Qb7
Rff7
9 21.14 ++ 43. ... Qxe3+!!
9 40.89 3.48 43. ... Qxe3+ 44. Kh1 Rcf8 45. Ne7+
Rxe7 46. Rg2 Qxb3 47. Qxc7 Qxd5 48.
Kg1 Ref7
