Was the Dutch GM maybe Roeland Pruijssers? Mad difficult name to pronounce as an English native. The 'ui' sound is similar to the Scottish pronounciation of 'ou' in 'out'.

1. Ne4, Qd4+ 2. Kh1, Qxe5 3. Ng5+, Kh8 4. Nxf7+, Kh7 5.

Black king defends g7, so yes the queen "could" take it, but at the cost of her own life in sacrifice, certainly not a worthy trade without an extremely strong (preferably checkmating) follow up, which there isn't in that position (unlike later where sacrificing queen on h6 results in a checkmate tactic).
