  suenteus po 147: 21...Qd6 to break the fork is the bad move. 21...Re8 is much better since it seizes the open file first, without sacrificing any defense, and a rook exchange at this point is not such an unpleasant prospect when considering the alternative.

Nov-20-07  xeroxmachine: Exchange sacrifice well not really more like a tactical combination.
