So I played a speculative exchange sac starting with 12... Nxg3 planning to get the piece back with Rxe5+ (losing the exchange). I thought my opponent did well to get to a point where his rooks were connected and almost in the game. Had he not fallen for my cheap tricks, he should have then won. Could I have improved on my play, or was this sac flawed to begin with?

Originally posted by Restless Soulohhh...hmm I think it was unnecessary, you where a lot better before Qh4, in fact, I like f6 in that position. I like how white played Na4 later on and walked into a mating net. I would like to see the game after Rf1 instead of Na4, black is better, but white can put up some defense.
huh?

12 Nf3 Nxc3+ and white is in awful shape and I don't see any tactics preventing ... fxe5 in a move or two if the knight doesn't move. Other knight moves don't help either

Originally posted by ErekoseI think You're right. I just got so caught up in playing a "sac" for initiative that I just missed the easier win.
