Because I am a shameless Kramnik fan and because it is, together with of course your game one of the best games I have ever seen, I give you a Kramnik win over Kasparov (the only black win between them actually), I am sure that if you didn't know who played which colour you would guess it was Kasparov playing black.
26...Bc6 is a fantastic move, Kasparov missed that one.
Kramnik has played very passively and solidly from the year 2000 on but recently I am very happy with his play, he is showing us little hints of the old Kramnik that played the very nice game above!

EDIT: Yes he can but the resulting pawn ending is lost... 😉
In the Kasparov game I think the justification was that for his Queen he got 2 pieces and 2 pawns plus the initiative and crucially whites Knight and Queens rook are pretty much out of the game.....in the hands of the Worlds Greatest ever player thats worth the sac.
I'm 100% sure this wouldnt be an over the board inspirational moment either...
