This minor piece exchange for a+b pawns are.common them.in open Sicilian. Black should be alert when b5 is played.
Others are welcome to post their Sicilian game where a minor piece is exchanged for a + b pawns.
I think Bronstein first had this idea, it was certainly played by Tal in the 1970's
Not an exchange though (a sac).
@MrPushwood
You are right. In some Sicilian game, White exchange a minor piece for Black's a+b+d pawns.

In this case white should not have enough, e.g. 18...Rh7. Then everything is defended.
@ryan121 But it is a blunder
In Rapid games, even GM makes pseudo sacrifice and wins 😎
@ryan121 but they say that it was not correct.
@selfbrain the engine is not god if this is wrong all of tals sacrifices are senseless
