This piece has lived his life not being able to go straight. This piece has to take the swervy route around even though the destination is right in front of him. This piece is the knight

The Knight

The knight is known for being the most tricky piece on the board and takes a ver ylong time to master. Many people say to look at all the squares of where this piece could go, however there is one place where a knight is a tricky piece. A sacrifice is tricky to see and on top of that a knight doing a sac would make it tough to see. Today I will show you two positions from actual games where the kinght sacrifices itself for a major attack. 

Game 1:

Here Black has just made the blunder Bc6?? in which case allows White to draw the game despite being down a full exchange. 
Nxh7!! This move shows the weakness to Black's dark squares as White now gets to draw the game if Kxh7 Qh4+ Qh5 and Qf6! where Black barely gets away with a draw. 
As you can see with a few weaknesses and a knight sac it can fully change the state fo the game. 
Thanks!,
