Whenever an opponent takes one of my pieces, I feel compelled to capture one of their own. But I'm certainly finding out it's not always the best move.

There are two types of sacrifices: correct ones and mine.

It's still sad. You trying to steal this quote and use it as your own. Whats next, we're going to find your "MVP" celebration speech came from somewhere else? "cocky as T.O. I have bad B.O" ??? Come on, where did you pull that off of, really?

Your an idiot. I edited your quote before and you were upset. Now your playing it off as some joke. Just look back at the "e4 or d4" thread.

True. Desperado sacrifices and Zwischenzugs can lay bare the best-laid plans.

Isn't that the truth... Heaven forbid. (After all, he must be divine.)

If you don't recapture don't you lose a lot of material?

well sometimes, if you recapture you will lose even more material... it depends completley on the position, but recapturing can sometimes weaken other squares which can then be occupied, called a decoy tactic
