Jul-16-04		zb2cr: This is an unusual Queen sacrifice. What happens here is that the Queen sac is intended to solidify the pin on White's Knight. Black would obviously have tried to maneuver his QR over to the KR-file to add pressure and win the Knight. In trying to free himself, White makes a mistake with 31 g4, leaving Black ahead in material. However, it's hard to blame him--if Black is allowed to castle long, it's curtains for the White King.
