Mr. Matt's Homework from Nov. 5th Lecture

Analyze The Following Position

White to Move
Black has just played 9. ... e5

This past week's lecture was about the Greek Gift. A thematic sacrifice, it is called the Greek Gift as it is similar to the idea of the Trojan Horse from the Trojan War.

The above position is from Sharma, K vs Nielson, C. at the USM Tournament in 2013.

Homework: Analyze the Bxh7 sacrifice and show in notation if it is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, make sure to show all of Black's best responses. No bad moves for Black! If it is incorrect, what should White play instead?
