Subject: A Tal sacrifice......

Game went (Tal with white):
1.Nxh5!! gxh5? (there are better alternatives that must lose also**) 2.Rf5 Qe8
3.e5! +-

**
1...Bh8!? 2.Nf6+ Nxf6 3.Bxf6 Bxf6 4.Rxf6 Ra1 5.Rxg6 fxg6 6.Rxa1 with 2 Pawns
more. So instead of having an almost equal position after playing the other
possible moves for move-1 except Nxh5, Nxh5 gives 2 Pawns advantage. Fruit 2.2.1
versus Fruit 2.2.1 ended with a white win.

1...f6! 2.Nxg7 Qxg5 3.Qxg5 fxg5 4.Ne6! Rxf3 5.gxf3 and white has a small or even
bigger than small, advantage.....So instead of having an almost equal position
after playing the other possible moves for move-1 except Nxh5, Nxh5 gives an
endgame with small advantage. Fruit 2.2.1 versus Fruit 2.2.1 ended again with a
white win.
