When to Sack it

Hello,

Lately I am becoming more of a fan of sacking bishops and knights for opening up the castle. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, it intensifies game rapidly.

So I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb on sacking pieces or if it is just a pure instance type of play.

Thanks

You have played more than 8,000 bullet games and 2,000 blitz games.

Surely, you must have a sense of this by now. It's not like you are going to start calculating your moves out to mate.

One of hundred thousands of players with a lot of games but still at low level. I learned when, how, which piece where by watching how masters play with commentary and by playing myself and analyzing game after that actually you have to work little bit believe it or not... Well they don't do it often but some like Ginger GM with his blitz videos you will learn thing or two.

I faced a lot of players who sacs against me, even at 1100 level. I laugh at them and enjoy their nervous attempt and then destroying them : D

Players at 1100-1600 level have one thing in common. They are extremely, extremely cocky and greedy. They will eat that "free pawn" with a smile, not understanding they will get checkmated or simply they don't believe it while in same time they lack skills to prove it and they end losing. Its big ego thing. Their ego is preventing them to improve. They just want another game to win and thats it day after day.

Lol of course I would only get responses from arrogant wannabes chess players. I don't care what your rating says, if you talk down to another person, for no reason, then you have no class. Your fall sense of superiority only goes as far as the 64 square... even then I do think you're as good as you perceive you're... watching your recent losses ;)

Notmtwain looks like the type to use computer engines to win games. Probably creates an account, gets banned and repeats.

What an idiot. People are helping him and really should not, not because he is moron, but sacking like that will lead you nowhere. You are one of those you just want quick dirty  wins, nothing related to actuall chess really.
