βšͺ️#335 (Strategy-White to Move)
πŸ”ΈPalliser,Richard (2389)
πŸ”ΈMalakhatko,Vadim (2556)
πŸ”ΈMonarch Assurance 2005
πŸ“• 27.Re3!
There is tremendous positional compensation for White's sacrifice - great minor pieces, lack of scope for the rooks, a powerful passed pawn and so on. However, even more important is that now that the knight has left f6, a very strong attack will virtually play itself.
⚫️#336 (Strategy-Black to Move)
πŸ”ΈKeene,Raymond
πŸ”ΈUhlmann,Wolfgang
πŸ”ΈHastings 1970
πŸ“• 19...Bf8!
Blockade secure Black turns his attention to some desirable minor piece exchanges and emerges with his first choice of remaining pieces - Blockading knight against a bishop unable to challenge the blockade. 20.Bb2 Nxe4 21.Bxe4 Nd6 22.Bg2 Bg7 23.h4 e4! 24.Bxg7 Kxg7.
