Queen Sacrifice: Queen for Bishop and Knight.

Sort:
sadern

I was playing for fun. When the game started I just wanted to get the knight. He checked me, I blocked, then I thought it would be fun taking a Knight and Bishop for a Queen. The rest follows from there.

Thoughts, comments, analysis?

This is a really odd game.

What do you mean by that?

pretty cool, you didn't get too nervous about the material. He put his queen in a box as though he were protecting the king. It was rendered useless for the last half of the game.

Your bishop setup and then the rook attack at the end reminds of many tactic trainer positions that I see.

Objectively the queen sac is very bad (not only loses material but according to the engine gives white a big lead in development). However, it was not  bad to try in a blitz/bullet game for fun.
