re:sacrificing knight for g- and h- pawns - 2006/06/30 09:02
because how is black going to get other pieces involved? You`re not going to mate him with just the bishop and the h-pawn, but in the time it takes you to get your queen meaningfully involved, I believe white has time to organize a defense. to look at a concrete variations. Now, sure, sometimes those variations are not conclusive, but at least you`ve decided that there`s no obvious defense. So, let`s look: out that often you want to sacrifice the bishop here. Why? Because a knight and a queen are a more effective attacking tandem than a bishop and a queen) 9.hxg4 Bxg4 10.Qd3 e5 (to create an way in for the queen) 11.Bg5 Qd7 12.Nh2 exd5 13.Nd5 Bh3 14.Rfe1 Re8 15.Qg3 Nc6 16.Nf6+ and after black trades his dark-square bishop for the knight, his dark squares are really weak and he himself will be on the defensive after Qg5-h6 threatening mate on g7. for both sides. But the point is, before you sacrifice, you have to look at actual variations. Start out looking for plausible moves on your opponents part. If even reasonable, easy-to-find moves defend successfully, then you can`t play the sacrifice. have enough material available to continue the attack. Remember, even in the best of situations is usually takes two pieces to deliver a mate--so you can`t really expect one or two pieces to be enough to do the job if there are several defensive pieces hanging about. important one to keep in mind, but it only works if you have enough pieces to keep the attack going. You have to have an advantage before you can start saccing pieces for an attack. That advanage can be better development, kingside space, more material, or whatever. sac when it`s not sound than by playing it, unless you`re playing blitz. You`ll learn pretty quickly that when given the opportunity to find "only" moves that defend, players with tournament experience will invariably find them. You can`t sac hoping the person won`t see the best defense.
