To this patzer's eyes this seems to be a modern classic. Is it on a
par with Kasparov Topalov? When I sac this much material it's by
accident. A truly incredible game worthy of wider attention?

Always be very sensible

Massive! Major game. An sumting say why learn chess this is reason to lern
chess.
