Throwback: slightly unusual Bxh7! in the French

Very nice game, especially the mate at the end, with the queen sac, although it always has to be NN who is thrashed and beaten, isn't it.

WOW!

Thx!

Actually a regular otb tournament game with a classical time period.
In my opinion, 4...Be7 is worse than 4...dxe4 or 4...Bb4. That aside, great game!
There is nothing wrong with 4...Be7, but 10...a6 and 13...b5 is to blame.
The sacrifice has been played before
@Sarg0n the idea of a greek gift isn't unusual and the idea of attacking that pawn in the french isn't either... well played but I don't see anything unusual
The „usual“ Bxh7 is followed by Ng5+ and Qh5. Approaching with Qd3 is slightly unusual.
