Its amazing how, in just 25 moves you can have a pawn in the 6th and 7th rank. Even more provoking is how sacraficial attacks can prove to be so devastating! Enjoy and post comments here!

Well, the first 21 moves have been quite popular for some time. Blacks 21. ... Bb7 is a bad choice, although after 21. ... Qa7 the attacking chances for white still largely compensate for the 2 points sacrificed.

Here a few correspondence games showing how it could go after 21. ... Qa7 instead of the played Bb7:
