The 20 Best Sacrifices Ever – When Giving Material Wins Games

Some of the most memorable chess games are not won by slow moves,
but by bold sacrifices that completely change the position.
This study is dedicated to those moments.

Why Sacrifices Matter

A sacrifice is not about losing material.
It is about gaining initiative, time, open lines, or a decisive attack.
Many players hesitate to sacrifice because they are afraid of being wrong.
The goal of this study is to train your intuition so you can recognize
when a sacrifice is not only possible — but necessary.
