A powerful battery

This game I played recently against a 1900 player is quite instructive on how a positional move (sacrificing a pawn) and the increased pressure on the two main diagonals helped to win this game. Never underestimate the power of a battery!

The end-position was quite remarkable, as the white king found himself behind three enemy minor pieces instead of his pawns!

Cheers, Stefan
