Did you ever DARE to do SACRIFICE?.

Well a good sacrifice in a chess is something which make the game glorious and give it a beauty. It is something which is not common to everyone and every game, in very rare case it occurs.

I remember the Quote of M.Tal- there are only two types of sacrifice!! A good sacrifice and the other one is mine!!!

So my question is- did you ever dare to sacrifice in your chess game?.

I was once chatting in a religious group and after a while I confessed that I sacrificed  my bishop and there were many quite concerned until I had to tell them what I meant by "my bishop".

Oppzz guess the group was of Islam!.

You got chess wisdom.

If you were on our vote chess team you would have shared in winning a game...

Great puzzle.

It is actually from a reaal game being played right now in vote chess.

Yeah, move 10, 12, 19, even 14 I guess. You might not consider any a 'real' sacrifice though.

Well, if you mean "dare you sacrifice when you can't see the end of your line", no.

"Dare you sacrifice when you see a clear compensation, even if not immediately winning", yes. But of course that one is obvious. The good question might be "do you consider and calculate sacrificing often ?"

i sacrifice all the time, usually right before i resign

It doesn't happen often, but I've sacked a rook a couple of times, only because I was quite sure mate would follow though.

More often I sac the exchange, without seeing a line to win back the material (to get some kind of positional compensation or to secure a draw or something). 

Sacrificed in most of my recent games, but mainly sham sacrifices for material:

Move 31: Rb1 http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=63528456

Knight sac move 9, final move, bishop 'sac' http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=63734484

I never played sacrifice in any of the tournament i participated yet.

Good one!! But not brilliant..

When I was in high school, I once played a queen sacrifice in order to get a forced mate.  My opponent was more than a little confused when he saw me let my queen fall, but he took the bait, and a few moves later he was mated. :)
