Hammerschlag
A great champion for his time and maybe even by today's standards. Emanuel Lasker shows a nice double bishop sac to open up the Kingside to initiate an attack. This one end in a nice fashion where after the sacrifice, there's still plenty of game left to be played. On the second game, one of my favorite, Judit Polgar plays in a similar fashion against one of the greats of the modern era, Anatoly Karpov. The notes in the games are not mine, I just happen to run across these games and I thought it was interesting how they had a very similar theme. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
