During my bullet grind, I got absolutely demolished by this beautiful queen sac in the Najdorf. I've studied this line very sparsely, only after queen moves such as Qg4, so you can imagine my shock when my opponent thought for a bit and just played e6. I, the idiot, did see the discovery and capture by the rook, but didn't see the blatant mate in 2 after Kf8

As for Kg8, here's a crushing attack by David Navara from the same position:

Of course, Stockfish says black is better by about merely -0.8 after the sac, but one would imagine that doesn't matter with such a hellishly difficult and precise position to defend.
