I rarely think to sacrifice the Queen. I might win more if I did.
sacrificing your queen needs a precise calculation; because if you didn't manage to calculate all the possible moves, there's a chance for opponent to force an endgame and your down a piece.
I sometimes sac my queen when I play white vs the Sicilian http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-openings/the-bryntse-gambit
I just sacrificed my Queen for a checkmate! This is a game played between two amateurs with inaccuracies/mistakes on both sides of the board - my annotations are light and also may not be the best: any constructive comments or suggestions are most welcome.
What's the big idea for white after 33...Qxd8?
White could deliver a simple mate instead by 33.Qc7+ Ka8 34.Qc8+ etc.
Oh dear...I just realised...I made a blunder...thanks for pointing that out
How about this one?
#48
WHAAAT THAAAAAAAAA...
Yeah, that's what I call it when I blunder it.
You can start counting Queen sacrifices on this one. White to play and draw.
I'm not sure if this will show as I'm on my mobile but I did offer a sacrifice during a game yesterday. In all honesty I should have lost as I made so many mistakes but my opponent missed a few chances so I got lucky......[Event "Renegade2025 vs. BobbyFisherrrrrrrr"] [Site "Chess.com"] [Date "2022-03-20"] [White "Renegade2025"] [Black "BobbyFisherrrrrrrr"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "1199"] [BlackElo "1186"] [TimeControl "standard"] [Termination "Renegade2025 won - game abandoned"] 1. e4 c6 2.
