I don't remember the players, but there was a GM game from last year where this exact tactic got played, so I am sure Robert recalled that game. There is a relatively well known game in the Trompowsky which may have been the first time this tactic was deployed. I have no doubt Fabi knew about both games.

This video is also a great example of how useful it is to see the eval bar, even for GMs. The reason Robert found this tactic so quickly while Firoujza couldn't was mostly because the eval bar told him that Be4 is still good for white. Therefore, he figured white doesn't need to save the first rook, which allowed him to find the 2nd rook "sac" too.
