I think that's the problem with many of these 'early sacrifices' that are (?)
'known to work'. Often the winning line is far from easy to find for oneself,
another reason I like to use parallel line analysis (usually 7 lines) -- it's
easier to see 'what's possible', even if registered as 'far from best' by
programs. We must use our 'chess-sense' in these cases -- we've all
seen the *best* programs fail to make potentially-winning attacks 'cohere'!
