The queen sac & blundering after that

The first time I sac my queen today in blitz, and as so often, the opponent starts blundering right after that.

I would appreciate some scientific reports on the correlation between queen sac-ing and blundering soon by opponents.

well being a scientist myself id say...haha i dont know...strange how it always seems to happen:)

When can we see scientific research on this topic Mr. Maurice ? :)

well...my lab is undergoing some renovations...id have to set up a mobile lab for this...

hehe

I have honestly noticed how the opposing players blunder after a queensac

i really dont understand it:)

I also noticed that after unexpected queen sac-ing a lot of my opponents start blundering on the next move or soon after that.

I also noticed that almost none of my opponents ever does unusual queen sac-ing.

Almost all opponent play "safe", and only sac the queen when they can calculate a checkmate in 2 or 3 or a very quick material win.

The queen attachment force seems strong with these ones :)

I thought this was going to be a thread about doing a Queen sac, and then blundering on the followthrough :D

haha most people only sack in checkmate calculations...very seldomly will one see an unusual sack of the Queen...but sacking the Queen for 2 pieces helps one to learn to play without her majesty...ive learned to play(and win) being down material by playing these unsound sacks in blitz...i think these unusual sacks is a novelty

Good point, I need to work on more clear subject lines :)

Happy to see you looking at queen sac-ing in your games Maurice :)

Apparently Mikhail Tal would first look at a queen sac in a position, then rook sac etc.

I find that inspiring.

as do I:)

Tal was a genius!unsound...yes...but that playing style earned him the magician from Riga nickname:)
