Hello, My question is simple, does any computer chess algorithm has yet implements the Sacrifice for its game?

is it possible for a computer to do Sacrifice?

Yes.

Yeah, a small percentage of engines will allow you to change settings to be more aggressive, which can result in sacrifices. (The free Pro Deo engine has a Tal personality, for example. Also, while I haven't tried it, the Rodent II engine has a Fighter personality that's advertised as being sacrificial.) And then some engines are just naturally aggressive. I've never owned a copy of Junior, but I've read that some versions of Junior sometimes play sacs on the normal settings.

Strong engines, without any modification, will also make sacrifices. Some because they're tactically winning right away, and most are willing to sacrifice a pawn or two for piece activity in many different positions.

Better don't try it against them yourself, though.
