May-31-06		blingice: Wow, cool sacrifice. I had to refer to Chessmaster to see what would happen if 29..bxc5. Chessmaster found this attack: <30.Bxc6+ Kd8 31.Rb1 Nb2 32.Rxb2 Ne7 33.Rb8+ Nc8 34.Rd7+ Ke8 35.Rxc8#> Rather than 29..Nd4, Chessmaster preferred this line: <29...Nxe5 30.Rb1 Rf7 31.Ra8+ Ke7 32.Rxh8 Nxf3 33.Rxb6 N3d4 34.Rb7+ Kf6 35.Rxf7+ Kxf7 36.Rxh5 Ng7 37.Rh7 Nf5>, scoring it at +5.7.
