Jun-10-10		Hesam7: <<19.Ne5!?> It takes about 2600+ rating points to make a move like this. As Turgut noted, White gets little for the exchange -- but he keeps what he's got, mainly he does not have to retreat with R5c2 or c4. After 19. R5c4 Rfd8, Black stands slightly better.> Read the whole commentary here: http://main.uschess.org/content/vie...

Jul-01-12		cro777: "Positional sacrifice bamboozles computers! A brilliant game of the Correspondence Grandmaster Tansel Turgut. He demonstrates how a positional sacrifice can blow the materialistic microchips of a computer!" (Dragan Lalic) Turgut, Tansel - Tiemann, Hagen (World Championship 24 final) 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3.

Bc4 Ra8 36. g4 1-0 click for larger view The ending is lost as the White's pawn mass from d4 to g4 will soon overwhelm Black's passive pieces. According to Turgut quoted from ICCF forum (which was later discontinued) if the pawn is on h7 Black wins. But if it is on h6 - as it is - White wins.
