I say original because I do not want kings gambit games or latvian gambits or any type of pawn gambit in the opening. The only way I will accept a pawn sac in the opening is if you came up with it on your own.

Well, I have tons of pawn sacs in my openings. However, I often discover later that the idea has been played before. It's hard to be completely original in the opening of a game that is several centuries old. Although, it's amazing how much chess has changed from the 1900s to today.

the pawn sac doen't have to be in the beginning of the game it can occur anywhere but the beginning unless it is original or to be more specific not a part of any opening theory.
