Yet another game which featured a nice exchange sacrifice before the tables were turned and the opposing side wound up sacrificing two of them back!
Wildcard #5: IM Georgi Orlov (SEA) vs GM Timur Gareyev (LV) 0-1

I thought this would be a good addition based on the simple merits of the game: just a very exciting game which featured many interesting moments and nice ideas from both players. As such, another very natural addition to the GOTY Contest.
