What's the definition of a good queen sacrifice?
If you lose the queen just to have a forced mate in the next move, that's not a sac, is it? Then it's just an example of a tactical combination, isn't it?
if the queen is sacked for a 12 move combination...
that's pretty amazing...
If, in the case of Bobby Fischer's famous sac, it gains him other extraordinary advantages with out mate, and still wins, that's amazing...

A queen sac for a very nice positional advantage.

There is one or two lines of the dragon where black gives up his queen for a rook and bishop (sometimes just two bishops) and gets quite good compensation. I have never had to play it on here though, most of the time I find other sacrifices to win with or get smashed before the chance arises.
