When attacking a castled king, often a sacrifice can lead to a winning position that is worth the material loss, as was the focus in the previous entry. Often, this takes confidence and self-control when White is a piece down.

139) When Black activates bk in response, it can be tempting and often wise to pile on the threat with wq but here there is way to add to the bk momentum in a way dangerous for Black.

141) Here the same pawn advance leads to mate for White if it can bear a wr sacrifice followed by a br threat invited with a wn sacrifice.
