Beautiful, eh? :) My take on it is the exchange would allow Black to retain chances of counterplay (i.e., a glimmer of hope), whereas the liquidation played results in an easily won endgame. It reminded me of the finish to Lasker's double bishop sacrifice, where he likewise wrapped up the combination with an infiltration to d7. We have a winner! Beautiful, eh? :)

(Ladies and gents, Brad shared the NH State title with me in 2004, and he's defended it ever since, sometimes with other co-champs.) I looked at that move, but think what I played leads to a cleaner simplification versus just picking up the exchange. :P Hey, you can’t play!
