I dunno if that worths sacrifizing  your most active knight

Even though it looks alright perhaps better was 9.Ng5 ... Qc8 10. NxP winning the pawn because if pxn BxP+ KH8 BxQ.

Black should be able to repel the attack and be better after it.

ya 9. g5 looks good

The knight sac is perfectly sound! In fact, in the final position 13.Bxe6+! Kg6 14.Bxc8 winning the queen. Therefore, Kxf7 is a blunder. However, after 12...Rxf7 13.Bxe6 Qf8, the position is equal.

Nxf7 was a fine move!Laughing

You could - why would you want to?

What is the long-term follow-up? Your plan for the next 5-10 moves?

If you can't answer that, the sacrifice wouldn't be sound even if it was (which it isn't!). Surprised

bobobbob Bxe6 is just followed by Qxe6 and black is two pieces up

One pawn isn't sufficient. Also consider that this pawn is going to be a disadvantage for black in the final (based on the given position with most pieces removed), since the knight in front of it has to be moved away, therefore losing a tempo.

Sorry people, ignore my post.

I'm just a noob.Cry

just that the fact the queen and king are forked or the rook and queen would be forked it is a great sac

cannot understand your spelling, and the sac was worthless 13.Bxg6+ 13.Qxg6 14.Qxg6+ 14.Kxg6
