Sicilian: White exchanges minor piece for Black's a+b pawns

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

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.
In Rapid games, even GM makes pseudo sacrifice and wins 😎
