What's funny is I think I might have seen it if there was a pawn on e6 to capture. Harder to imagine an empty square sacrifice.

me looking at a chess.com/player bio: huh, must be a bug here. this player was born in 85, same as me, but it says they are 40.

Thanks for pointing this out, and we'll change it! We totally agree and don't think it's silly at all. Our policy is to use White and Black unless it's a specific player. Some older content may be out of date, and sometimes we err or the author knows who the player is but the reader doesn't.
