I did today in a tournament game, because i needed a piece out of the way for a back rank mate:). I like to call these moves unsound-sound moves.
no but on a more serious note, i think that unsound moves are good in certain scenarios being:
*draw the opponent into a predictable move
*lack of better options
*material and spacial ties
*spatial gain
and sometimes they are just un-avoidable or just for the fun of it...
