if you're wondering why i missed mate on move 23, i had pre-moved knight takes knight.
Grandmaster wants to know if this queen sac was sound.
You seemed to have a had a plan with it which to me makes it sound. You basically traded a queen for a knight and rook so it wasn't a total sacrifice. And you lined up taking advantage of the pin on f4 giving you some counterplay and initiative. It seems like a solid attacking move to me. I was suprised that your opponent play Rf2 on move 20 I was thinking Bxf4, that way you avoid a skewer on the rook, but that is in hindsight of course.

Oh. That explains it Mr. Seesonlyonemoveahead Tal.

a sac means that you give up material. a Queen(9 points)for a rook, knight and pown (also 9 points) is not a sac. it is mearly a trade.

Yeah but time pressure can sometimes be a factor too, it might be to early to judge
Ha. Nonsense. If a GM is any good at tactics, they would have noticed the weak backrank and factored it in their calculation moves before.
The position was at least fairly uncomfortable for black before qxr. I don't think qxr wins tactically, but it preserves material equality and activates black's pieces in a pleasing manner. So I think it was a sound move, but far too obvious to be a brilliancy. Sorry.

Hi guys, my play is very similar to Mikhail Tal as I personally coached him. So sometimes, I throw away pieces (including queens) randomly and it isn't necessarily sound. I want to know if this queen sac here is sound.
