if the definition of a pseudo-sac was that simple, then you could call the queen's gambit a pseudo sacrifice. (1. d4 d5 2. c4 exc4 3. Qa4+)

the best psudo sacracfice i've ever seen was in an otb game, one player traded off queens and then as his opponent was thinking under the table he tied a string around the queens head. when it was his move he declared a psudo sacrafice and used his queen as a wrecking ball. ๐Ÿ˜€

I saw a sacrifice at 31b Nc7d5 where he offered his knight, or was it just a blunder.
Well, black won, but was it really because of this sacrifice?

it's amazing how many unsound sacs I've seen on rhp. Granted, I've made some myself, but when I play CC and find a nice sac, I usually spend a good amount of time looking it over.

I didnt win cuz of the sac because i was already up two pawns so thanks for the help, and yugoslav, it wasnt unsound im pretty sure, because all his moves are basically forced, i dont know if you looked at the position but i threaten mate like four or five times....yeah so im pretty sure thats the best move.....tho you didnt say it my move was unsound it just seemed implied....

yes of course it was a sac, if he doesnt accept i play ne4 which is strong, the whole idea is being able to play d4 and activate my bishop, you see it became a problem for him

EDIT: my move was sound!! but only the like the fifth best move, according to fritz๐Ÿ™, f3 was the best, it was quicker to win

What am I missing in the second game that made the other player resign? To me the sac doesn't work, however that is the difference between myself and the good players as I don't see everything they do. Can you show me what I am missing?

after rook takes (king cannot), the rook is pinned, then he play rook check, queen takes, rooks takes--checkmate!
