A brave decision from Ukraine's star.
20.fxe3 Qe8 21.b4?
Ukraine's former rising star goes wrong. Now the a5 -knight will soon have a more active future.
21...Qxe3+ 22.Kh1 cxd4 23.bxa5 dxc3 24.a6
24...Rxa6!
A double exchange sacrifice!
25.Bxa6 Bxa6 26.Nc1 d4 27.Nd3 Bb7 28.Nf2 Bh4 29.Rf1 Ne6
Black's attack is unstoppable. White soon lost.
