Great game to close the tournament by Fabi and secure the third place, obviously Caruana study the classics, here i give you the history of this sacrifice.

The Origin. Ravinsky vs Simagin Moscow 1947

Simagin was the father of this amazing sacrifice, with the idea of take of e4.

Destroying the Castle. Nataf, Igor vs Dominguez, Leinier 2002

And here an example with the idea of double pawns and attack the king instead of take on e4, more similar to the game of Caruana.
