English Opening Experiment #9

In my final game of the English Opening series, I get a win and am proud of my game. This game comes while I was watching the video series on Petrosian and his positional rook sacs. And wouldnt you know it, I was presented with an opportunity to test this Rook sac idea out in this game! I never ever would have considered this move until now. It worked like a charm!! Laughing

    I don't understand your fear of the KID? I know nothing of the KID playing e4 or c4.

    The rationale for the exchange sacrifice (move 33) doesn't seem quite right to me.  Once white shifts the pawns to light squares, the bishop doesn't have any targets.  Note that black can use the same idea.  The idea of the Monster Bishop is very important, but usually when there are more pieces on the board - i.e. the Queens are still there.  With the Queens off, and potentially no pawns to attack, the Bishop isn't all that threatening.
