This game was played by two grandmasters I think and white is losing after the shocking Nf4.

Super-Trucker

What after (8. Qxd4 Ne2+ 9. Kf2 Nxd4 10. Bd1)?

This seems winning for white unless I overlooked something

Not as amazing as my hair.

8. Qxd4 9. Nh3# I think.

Super-Trucker

You're right, missed the a8 bishop

JovanyGabriel

The continuation is 8. Qxd4 Ne2+ 9. Kf2 g1=Q+ 10. Kxe2 Qxd4

I wouldn't call that a sac if you are just going to get another one. Tactical calculation, great, but was it necessary in the game or just theatrics?

 

It shows white missed opportunities, like move 32.Rxb2

 

No theatrics, Nf4 is strongest it seems.

I am talking about earlier in the game, move 32.

I don't know when move 32 was, but if you mean 2  RxBb2 instead of 2 c4 then ..Qf1 +would be mate.
