Jettrider: Every Monday and Tuesday is a queen sac nowadays. |

Jettrider: 33...Ra2
Great use of the central pawns to limit the scope of the dark squared bishop. It really has nowhere to go...34. Ba1 Rxe2 and the game is over. Also a nice blockade of the C-pawn while creating and maintaining two connected passed center pawns. |

|
Jettrider: 34...Bxe5
Black's temporary sac did nothing but simplify the position. It also allowed 38. Bd4, a nice forced simplification. Game is completely lost after 41...Rd5. White has ample ways to promote the e-pawn. |

Jettrider: Black offers up space, pawns, and outposts for an unusable hole around White's king. Final combo just seals the damage already done while Black shuffled around on the queenside. |

Jettrider: Beautifully aligned attack. The Knight still defends the g7 square from the rook, and the position is too closed on the queenside for a counter-attack. If 27...fxg5, black just gives back those 3 points with 28. Nf6+, taking the rook then the g5 pawn. |
