Deep Exchange Sacrifices, Part Two: The Moderns
Compiled by Cactus
--*--

The exchange sacrifice is something that has always intrigued me, not as a sort of mating sacrifice, but as a deep, positional sacrifice, the type Petrosian was famous for, sacrifices that don't immediately gain material, and aren't obvious (for us mortals, at least).

For this section, I've chosen a few modern players that I think use the deep exchange sacrifice often. This is still in progress.

Classic Sicilian sac on c3
Lizbov vs Topalov, 1988 
(B92) Sicilian, Najdorf, Opocensky Variation, 29 moves, 0-1

Exchange sac for a passed pawn
Topalov vs R Mantovani, 1988 
(E12) Queen's Indian, 59 moves, 1-0
