was it really that good?
I see that thread more like an expository of great games and yours certainly was one. 😀

This was probably a 5/5 game or a 10/5... No big deal but I'll post it anyway.

This is not too bad a queen sacrifice.

Originally posted by TheHumanFritzYou have an eye for tactics as seen through that one...you saw 5-10 pins / skewers, etc after the queen sacrifice.

That's probably the biggest problem with alot of chess players: They overrate their queen. In my opinion, sacrificing R + P (And position) for Q is stupid. Anytime you can sacrifice a Q for R + N / B and have fair position, you can win - I have seen quite a few resignations when sacrificing a Q for R + N/B or even 2 rooks.

Lucky me, do I get a medal?
