e4 is a Sacrifice Friendly Opening

Sort:

So I no longer like playing traditional chess and have since tried to "pull a Tal" every chance I can.  When in doubt, I sac pieces until I get something or lose.  I'd love to hear whether they are sound or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is why not to play an early Bc4, it leads to poor decision making.

 

Enjoy?

In game 1 on move 14...Be7 he should have donesomething more along the lines of gxh4 then your attack is lost andhe isstill up material. However it's a good idea.

I disagree.  If gxh4, Nxf6 Qxf6 and then I can double Rooks on the h file, no problem.  I expected gxh4, and maybe I would end up sputtering but that move alone would in no way do it.

Yes it is better to give than to recieve :) Nice games!

Nice sacrafices. Greed seldom pays off because it compramises your postion when you go grabbing material. Especially when you go after rooks. Knights are really useless in the corner.

He prematurely played ... e5, which allowed me to segregate the board into the kingside where all my pieces could aim at, and the queenside with his inactive knight and rook.  I sac'd a Knight, but his knight was irrelevant, so pseudo-material was even.
