Oh, you're right. My bad, I failed to look at it after Kf2 because it looked like the king would just retreat to safety.

the following game has merely a positional pawn sac, but think the final position is sheer poetry.

This isn't one of my games.... (Ironman31 vs. Kingcaptured)

But it is just damn beautiful.

Game 623298

My question is, did IM31 know it was going to turn out this way, when he made the queen for rook trade?

Oh yeah definitely, he was getting two rooks and a monster of a passed pawn so it was always good for him.

This is a sort of exchange sacrifice, queen for rook knight and a pawn. I thought my queenside pawns were strong enough to win through: Game 994629

Well, I don't have any giant sneaky sacrifices or anything but I have some smaller ones. I don't want to go look them up though. I'm mainly a pretty straight forward player, I either attack like a madman or I try to trade down and keep it slow (I prefer this) so neither style of play allows me to sacrifice (I don't generally want to either).

a queen and a pawn for to rook bishop and knight. A good exchange for you I think but bold none the less

I'm not sure if this game counts. After some disastrous development on my part, I was in a dire situation and decided to sac my queen (only option really) for some counterplay, which worked and I should have won with 32... Nb3.
