You are right Elador, After Qxh6 Black can only screw it up.

But I've seen better positions than that screwed up on here.

Let's screw it up.

Greenpawn thanks for the reply. I love seeing things I'd never imagine.

Do you think that white is better after Qxh6 or after Nd2 the actual move in the game?

Hi Elador,

White is not better in either line. Such sacs as Bxh6 must always
be looked but White is has no follow through. The defenders out
number the attackers.




For such sacs to succeed with a direct attack against the King
you usually need the light squared Bishop or a Rook lift (or both)
and the defenders bits misplaced.

The line I gave is hardly plausible (though I seen moves like it -
a player concentrating on rescuing a piece and ignoring their King.)

Another line where I just make moves that have ideas behind them
just to see what happens. (it's how I play, though usually the lines
I see stay in my head.)
