I made 2 crazy mistakes in this game, but for some reason, bxh2 isn't brilliant when it perfectly fits the definition. Can someone explain?

Sorry I'm trying to concentrate on the chess but the fact that your pfp is a literal Bermuda Triangle!

Perhaps because the white still have huge advantage in both position and material:

It did follow the rules, it says position not material, their king was out in the open, and they couldn't get a mate in one or force mate in any way. Also, I suck at chess, and I'm 400, so it should follow the last rule.

According to the engine the white had +6 both before and after the Bxh2, that bishop's sacrifice changed nothing

Bxh2 is simply not a sacrifice (since it very directly wins the Queen on the spot).

Or would you argue you just sacrificed a pawn if the move got you a knight in return?

I don't understand what it changes. Bxh2 is not a sacrifice. A serie of trades that results in a material gain is never a sacrifice.

Also, a sacrifice is such, that a ful beginner (at least) sees the benefits of it only some moves later, not just the next move (poof Rook takes Queen "surprise" -not-)

Are you sure about that

I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm asking WHY isn't it considered one. Why is it considered a best move instead. And yes, I have a life.

Avatar of Kaeldorn

I told you why.
