Post your queen or/and rook sac!

Game 4113597

I've posted this before, and I hesitated to post again here, since it's unsound.
black got greedy though, so it looks beautiful.
black has an easy win if he plays Bc3+ instead of Bxa1
still looks good, enjoy.

Edit: I always take pride in notating Ne8 as Ne8!!
it was the move to completely seal the deal in style, as a pseudo sacrafice, which my opponent was wise enough to not accept... same results though... 🙂

I have been angling for a positional sacrafice ever since I studied some of Petrosians beautiful games. 🙂

Edit: I haven't looked at it in depth yet and it looks kinda dangerous for black but he should have at least considered 10...O-O

white played moves 6 and 7 the backwards he should have played Ba3 this has dual purposes keeps the black king in the center and if you had a brain fart and didn't account for the threat of Rd1 he could play that next and get an easy win(you probably already knew this though)

Edit: Beautiful sac by the way.

After another brief look, Rd1 seems to be generally played before Ba3.

This was won via blunder, but it was still a nice mate-sac. at then end.

Note - I would have won the rook exchange even if he had played correctly.

Nice smothered mate. Don't see that very often.

black was lost after he did not play Bc3+
taking the rook immediately was just...
wrong.

also, I had gone over this line a thousand times in-game, and determined that it was sound.
Nxg5 and Rxg5 Qh8+ Kf7 h6! is the onlything I can think of, but I know it was sound when I played it. doesn't really matter, because he didn't accept. Just sayin, I didn't get lucky, with the exception of Bxa1? w/out Bc3+!

Game 1076871 is a queen sac. I know I have at least one rook sac, but I can't find it at the moment.

yeah yeah but does ...O-O make the win easier or harder? I don't know because I haven't looked at it that deeply.

puts the king right next to the diagonal I control, so it shouldn't be easier...
I'd probably still go with h4 and attack him like that, with Nf3 to follow, my attacking idea probably would have been very similar, and I do not believe that it would have mattered...
