Post your queen or/and rook sac!

Ah, is that because of the value of the pieces?

yes you got 11 pawns if you count the bishop and knight as 3 a piece and the rook as 5 and he only got 9 pawns if you put the queen at 9 pawns.

{bump} I'm not sure I believe that ih8sens hasn't posted at least 20 games in here. 😀

I could make a joke in poor taste by posting a picture of a Queen's sack...but I don't want to get banned.

Thought it would be good to bring this thread back

Game 4776349

and I finally have something good to show 🙂

This didn't happen on RHP, so I can't easily give it here, but late last year I had my first smothered mate involving a queen sac (and a rook sac too). It could easily have been right out of a textbook: R sac to set it up, Q check, knight check, Q & N double check, Q check & sac, N check & mate, all replies forced. I was smiling inwardly for a week.

Why not 42. Ne1+! which leads to mate in one?

The Knight is pinned by the Rook.
