A deserving winner in my opinion. Sacrificing a rook for an attack, without an obvious forced mate or immediate regain of the material, requires tremendous courage, and very few club-level players would commit to that decision. 16..g5!? alone may have been enough to secure my vote, but Matthew proving his compensation in such convincing fashion left no doubt whatsoever.
Furthermore, as a Benoni player myself, it’s always lovely to see a crushing Benoni kingside attack.
