WMD: Graham Burgess writing in Kingpin magazine, No. 25, Winter 1995:Our final theme is a striking one: the sacrifice of a queen for two minor pieces, a bit of centralisation and...well, not much else, it seems. Yurtaev is a major protagonist here; it seems he is only happy once he is a queen down. Those have memorised Informator 43 will recall the following game:Huzman vs Yurtaev, 1987
Well, he's been at it again; look at this one: A Graf vs Yurtaev, 1993
The world has been understandably slow to recognise the merits of these queen sacrifice ideas. [...]
I once heard a rumour that Kasparov offered Yurtaev a lot of money for his opening files. The following game suggests that Gazza has more than a passing interest in his work:
Kramnik vs Kasparov, 1994
Of course anything can happen in a five-minute game, but later GM encounters showed that Black's idea had a lot going for it.
[Mention is made of the games Gulko vs Van Wely, 1994 and L B Hansen vs Van der Wiel, 1995 ]
