How to judge a sacrifice
- Count what you get backA sacrifice is sound when the line ends with mate or with more material than you gave.
- Open the kingSacrifices on the squares in front of a castled king strip away its pawn cover.
- Check the quiet repliesThe opponent does not have to take. Make sure declining the sacrifice also loses.
