great sacrifice games?

Not yet. I think it's Qxg6 then R1d3, but I haven't worked out how to mate against all Black's possible defences yet.

R6d3!

I rejected that because it allowed d5. So how does White mate after

1. Qxg6 hxg6
2. R6d3 d5
?

I can see a mate where Black has a rook on f7, his king on g8 and White has a rook on h3 - White plays Nxf6+, then after gxf6 Bxf6 and Rh8 next move is mate. However Black has to co-operate for White to get this one!

Here's one of my games which has just finished:
Game 2363698

I've played the Fried Liver countless times and have a 100% record with it. However in this game I tried for the first time 9.a3 rather than the more conservative 9.Qe4. It worked in this game, but it seemed very dangerous - if White doesn't get mate he ends up loads of material down. I think I'll stick to 9.Qe4 in the future.

Anyone got some good games involving a strong sacrifice?

Here are two of my favorite:
Game 2319944

I've posted that one in another thread already

Game 2353753

That one was full of pawn sacs, starting with the King's Gambit opening, then 11. Qxf3 gambiting by d pawn for more development, and ending with 20. Qf2! where 20. ...Bxc3? is ...[text shortened]... 22. Re7! where the line I had prepared was the forced 22. ...Bd4 23. Qxd4 which wins a bishop

I have got a game that I am very proud of with a sac in it

Game 2234427

I don't play the Cochrane Gambit too often, mainly because I usually get my head handed back to me on a plate. This one, though, came together nicely.
Game 2127586
14. ... Qb6 was an attempt at a potentially strong counter-attack but gave back material. 30. ... was a losing move.

Have any a opinion about this game sacrificing a queen and mating with two horses? Thanks

Now with link! Game 2280246

Well you didn't exactly sacrifice your queen as you got a bishop and two rooks for it! A very pretty mate to finish though.

Thanks, it was more a "help" sacrificy of the queen. Also Ke8 did not help after Td1 winning the black queen.

d5 ---- I'm not sure what happens, I'm trying to work it out with crafty, but the darn thing can't see far enough ahead.

...so, I'll have to get deep posit with Fritz....because after a Quick look, it would appear the sac losses, but i imagine capablanca thought it through.
