Now that there is a thread on the Grob, what do people think of this exchange sacrifice for black?
In my view this refutes the entire concept of the Grob, as the opening would be meaningless if it were not for the threats with the fianchettoed bishop. After the exchange sacrifice, black has the bishop pair and white will struggle activating his 'extra' rook with the king in the centre, so I think black's compensation is quite clear. The computer is giving black the advantage, but suggests white should decline the sacrifice:
