He sacrifices no more than the exchange virtually, as the adverse Knight that gains the Rook will remained inprisoned and ultimately lost.} Nxc2+ 10.Kd1 Nxa1 11.fxe5 dxe5 12.Rf1 {An excellent move that nuch increases the difficulties of the defence.} Nf6 13.Qxg7 Kd7 14.Rxf6 Kc8 15.Rxf7 Bd6 16.Bg5 Qe8 {If 16...Qg8 17.Rxc7+ and wins.} 17.Nd5 Rg8 {Kb8 might have given him time for some further resistance, but his game was past recovery.} 18.Rxc7+ 1-0
