Jun-22-06		Ybrevo: I have been playing this line in a recent corr.-game and found a very interesting piece-sac. for White in move # 22. (instead of Re8+): 22. Nb6+!? axb6 23. Re8+ Kc7 24. Ra7! My opponent played Qc6 (maybe Kc6 is more precise), and after 25. Bf4+ Bd6 26. Rxh8 I won the exchange. Black has a dangerous pawn-chain in the centre, but his King has a hard time finding safety. I am not the happy owner of Fritz, so I haven´t been able to test the sacrifice in depth. If anyone do, please provide some feedback. Thanks.
