1) after your 'sac' you got the material back within 3-4 moves, therefore it was a simple tactical device, so its not much of a "sacrifice" really is it?

2) 1400 -- 1700

if you were the 1400 I'd be impressed, but seeing as you were the big '700 picking of the small fry theses games don't seem too impressive...

Those aren't sacs.

Are you insulting us? 1700 versus 1400 is not a contest. Find a game you have played against credible opposition. THis kind of a thing is a little annoying.

I find hard to believe that you're a 1700 starting threads bragging about sacs which are not sacs and which can be easily refuted (see other thread)

Am I missing something?

Us? Us? Where did this us come from? Not to mention that I am right. Those aren't sacs. 1700-1400 or not, those aren't sacs.

I hate you. You're wrong.

LOL, guys, what's wrhong with u? 😕 I didn't say I am a genius. Yes, both combinations are simple, so what? I am not a GM, even not a master, and I think u r not too. However, it is a sacrifice, yes, I had material back in a few moves, so what? This is a point of a combination, in 3 moves or 13! Stay cool and not be jelous! 😀

Well, a sacrifce is when you do not have clear material compensation. If clear material compensation results, it is a combination.
