  FSR: A nice opening trap, which had been seen a number of times before in games dating back to 2009. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... It's a little surprising that the very booked-up Shankland did not know of it. But Black has a huge improvement with 10...Qxd7!, when the sac on h7 only results in a draw because Black's bishop is not loose on d7. A Brkic vs S Martinovic, 2014.
