    Sutovsky in general is a player whose games are well worth watching. I think he is one of the most creative players around.

    P.S. the last comment should surely read: "White resigns".

    It's really funny you say that. It's not at all uncommon to trade three pieces for the Queen, and I think the general consensus is that three pieces for the queen favors the side that gives up the queen... But what's funny is that just this past weekend I played an OTB USCF rated tournament game in which I sac'd my  queen (and a pawn) for three pieces. I felt pretty good about it, but in this case my position had other problems and I ultimately lost.

    The time controls were Game 30minutes , so I don't have the full score of the game... but I do have the game up to the sac:

     I understand that 3 pieces for a Queen is generally considered better but in the actual game he only sac'd 2 pieces for a Queen (his opponent was already down a piece) so it still represents a sacrifice. Bad luck with your game though, if you hadn't made that move it looks like you might have won.

    SunChao, everyone else was correct that "White resigns".  After all, black would never play like in your line.  More correct would be 40. Qxc5 bxc5+ (I thought the check was obvious, but I suppose you missed it) 41. Kxc5 Rxh2 where CLEARLY black is winning.
