Here is a game that I was looking at this morning in 300 Most Important Chess Positions which is one of my four books for 2022.
In this position Black has just played 6…h6, which allows White to open the game immediately with a pawn sac with 7.e4 which gains the initiative.
My pgn editor isn’t working currently, so here is a link to the game.
