Double rook sac declined

#1

Double rook sacrifices can be great fun.
Here my idea was : 23...Qxh1+ 24.Kd2 Qxa1 25.Qxb7 and black's king is in trouble.

But my opponent declined ! :] :)

I always thought Anderssen's immortal game was a great example (and fun!) of an accepted double rook sacrifice. Definitely not the most accurate game, but definitely one of the most brilliant. :) https://es.lichess.org/vyMHodr8

Unfortunately, the position was already completely winning, whatever move you did, really, which makes sacrifices a lot less fun in my opinion. It was still a fun idea, though.
