18. Qc6 1-0

After 14.Bf4 White has decisive advantage. Computers already want to play against the torture after 14.-Rc8 15.Rfd1 Nf6 16.Nxd4; so if there is a refutation of the sacrifice, it must start by taking immediately, 12.-axb5 13.axb5 Qd3 14.Qxf7 Nf6. And no matter how good that might be for Black objectively, this is the kind of position you rather play with White in a blitz game. With 15.b4 White can get a dangerous initiative, even if queens are exchanged.

Nov-08-21  Albertan: He won the Brazilian Men’s Chess Championship:

Sep-24-23  vonKrolock: Supi sacrifices his Queen vs Magnus (again!)... In the first game of this blitz mini friendly match (he shows all six games +1, -5: some losses on time)
