Hi Clandarkfire. 🙂
Hurts, doesn't it?
I bet Black spent a long time looking at the Queen sac.
Which I guess he wanted to do but it was most likely a crucial
team match and was under strict orders not to do anything silly

Interesting. It's a new game now.
And at the end with the match won and a national team winners medal
in his back pocket and his mates heading for the bar this was worth a shot.

That is very difficult to win and if White is not careful he losses.
I bet the lad forgot all about it and it did not hurt one bit.
White was a 2000+ player and he got a nifty medal.
However the loser of this v a 1273 player must still be having sleepless nights.
Black to play here.
12....Qg4+ wins the h3 Knight. Black played 12...c5 and lost.
