Exchange Sacrifice Black Side of Dutch Defense

The oddly named exchange sacrifice in chess means giving up your Rook for a Bishop or Knight. Calling it a sacrifice can be misleading as sometimes an exchange sacrifice is just the best move and nothing is really being sacrificed.

Mat1983 of Brazil stands much worse here playing White in a 3 minute game at ICC. His King is exposed with many weak squares. Black played the aggressive Dutch Defense which is also known for weakening the king side on move one!




Given the sensitivity of the g2 and f3 squares, can you find a move that offers an exchange sacrifice and the removal of White's most active piece in the same breath? The Dutch Defense is for fighting players and with Black to play there is definitely a fighting move to be found!
