7/2/2009 – The bishop sac on h7 (h2) to rip open the enemy's king position is a
classical motif in chess. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it isn't - but one
always has to be aware of it. And what is the case after 13.Nxc4 here?
A) Black wins easily, after all he's not got only one bishop, has he?
B) The sac is correct, however, victory requires yet a 'silent hammer blow'.
C) As good as it might look, the strike backfires; with cool defence White gets
the advantage.
