I'm not sure the exchange sac was entirely sound. I think that Black is equal if he plays correctly. Instead of Rf7, Kh8 was a much better move. 17. Qh3 is the most forcing move, but it is defended by h6. You'll need to keep the initiative going to acheive a draw after that.

Your assessment is correct. Black can get a draw after the Rook sacrifice, but there's still enough pressure and possibilities to make erros. Kh8 is clearly the better move, Rf7 was already the losing move. But what I really love with this game is that from start to finish everything worked out extremly well.

Great play! It's about time I've seen somebody post a good game. This game has actually inspired me to pull out the Giuoco Piano out of my repertoire closet.
