I love sacking pieces to destroy the kings safety.  Except I always lose.. lol.

great game and sound sacrifice

[intindse]

his king was crushed by the kingscrusher

[Jughand]

wow sacking a knight for 2 pawns, then rook to e3,

I must say I am more impressed with rook to e3 than the knight sac but yea this was marvelous

[dobtoronto]

Brilliance!

Oh what a beautiful game. This one goes in my favorites for sure. I love the sac of the knight for two pawns, then just sac'ing the other knight to get the king on a square where it's safety wasn't all that good.

Great Game KC!
