Let's see it. The most unsound sac that you made, when you were feeling truly manic, that actually resulted in a win. Here's mine...

Game 2174611

12.Nxf7, which actually later resulted in a discovered check allowing me to win his queen.

And I had analyzed 28.Bxf8, but forgot about it when I made the move. 😀

Haha, wow a queen sac 😀. I was surprised you traded your 2 rooks for his queen going into what looked to me like a lost endgame. Nice job with the draw.

H10 recommends the instant g3 as being equal or better for white rather than my Kg3 🙂

Getting a drawn position from the queen sac was lucky and then getting a draw in the ending was just super uber lucky, I cant believe he didnt play a5 at some point.

Ha, no need, I was just fooling around. Anyway, my most unsound sacrifice gave me a loss within a very short series of moves. I don't think it's worth noting.

Yeah, PC does that, I think it's a nice feature really, it helps get into the player's mind in a way. 😉

Game 1689960 The bishop sac is clearly not sound, but it presented me with a fun game. I missed a few winning lines and Black missed a few defenses throughout.

Game 1810039 I don't know what induced me to play this. I must have been in a sacrificial mood. 🙂

Totally unsound game. 15-0 KG Accepted Bishop's Gambit. I sacced on f7 hoping something good would happen...and it did! 😀

I missed a chance to win his bishop earlier with 8.h3! as well.
