Amazing game I found in the game database
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".

WHITE resigns
Phew! Finally got it
I wouldn't call it a sac when you get three pieces for the queen.. but nice game anyways.. =)
Granted but who would have been brave enough to do it...

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.
