About This Video:
Sacrificing pieces in chess is one of the most fun aspects of the game. It can be difficult for beginners to understand when to sacrifice pieces, but it usually can lead to some of the most beautiful checkmates you will ever see. In this video I show an example of a game where I was able to sacrifice a rook, a knight, and finally a queen which led to a brilliant checkmate.

Nelson: **Sacrifices rook and knight**
Engine: **NO**
I saw that🤣. That sidebar dipped like nobody's business
The engine was fine with the knight sacrifice for the most part, the evaluation didn't change much from that. It's the exchange sacrifice that it doesn't like, because it thinks it sees some move sequence that lets black defend. Does it exist? Yeah, probably. Doesn't mean the opponent's gonna find it though.
@@kellamyoshikage286
If you want the opening trap I played into to get that, I'll post the moves
The 1500elo bot abandoned the queen on B3 after that and let me trade a rook for it
@@dustinjames1268 give link of that game
Engine is just fool.
This was beautiful! Like Picasso said: Learn the rules like a professional so you can break them like an artist.
Perfect quote for this video!
I need to learn how to break the rules.
Didnt know picasso played chess, nice!
Bruh. I watched this video 10 months ago and even commented but I still don’t know how to sacrifice. 😂😂 At least now I can understand the video.
I really dislike this quote because it's more about knowing the cause and effect. Especially in art. At the end of the day you combine "the rules" to create something fresh rather than break them.
Great content! Learning a lot from your videos.
Also, one of your games was covered by agadmator recently. Great game too!
Oh man! Too bad he didn't mention I have a channel, but hey I'll take it.
You are a great presenter and your channel is brilliant. And you have literally the best music outro of any chess channel in history. Bravo 👏
Thanks! 🎶🎶
Nice game! You opponent had no choice with the first sacrifice but could have turned down the second one, and probably should have. If he did, he might have been able to hang on. Once he took it, he was done for.
I’m an expert at sacrificing my pieces. Just not finding mate after sacrificing my king
Lol I ĺl try to remember it for future games... No that's not a blunder, Nelson told me to sacrivice my piece
Maybe you should pick games where your instructive sacrifices aren't legit blunders. You sacked the rook and the evaluation bar shot down...
Of course, but it's a 3 minute blitz game so what do you expect
@@nickelback7213Did you read my comment? I have no problem with the blunder, what doesn't make sense is why he'd use an actual blunder for a video entitled "how to sacrifice pieces in chess". A blunder is literally the exact opposite of how to do that.
@@kickedinchest8602 I did, but my reaction was on the comment of @Smit Shilpatul
@@kickedinchest8602 Also, I do think it was a very instructional game -> the sacrifices show how to create a good attack with sacrificing material to rip open the opponents king. The computer probably finds some scumbag line to defend the position but you should also keep in mind that computers usually don't fully understand how strong some attacks are -> and that humans aren't computers that can accomplish perfect play. So maybe the sacrifice wasn't the most accurate, but it is a good example of "how to sacrifice a piece" (to open lines for your pieces to the opponents king).
@@nickelback7213 Click the reply button to him then, you clearly know how it works.
I usually sacrifice all those pieces by move 10, but I can't find the checkmate afterward...
Haha right?! Doesn't always work out this nicely for me either
@@ChessVibesOfficial no, he means he blunders the pieces :P
@@randomminecraftplayer6857 he knows
@@Harbo1003 then reverse sarcasm ftw :D
@@randomminecraftplayer6857 Yeah. The only difference between a sacrifice and a blunder is the move rating, but blunders don't have to be captures, so...
Great game! 😮
*goes on to sacrifice queens for rooks because Nelson said so*
Lol as long as you go down swinging =P
honestly, Nelson is a really good instructor. i have been following other channels like gotham or adigator, but their lessons.. are jut not pratical as nelson's. thank you Nelson!
I appreciate that!
I mean gotham is quite good too
@@asmodeus7672 but yeah Nelson understands and remembers the truffles of us lesser chess mortals.
@@asmodeus7672 Gotham doesn’t go as much in depth. He has a sense of humor that makes it watchable, but he’s not as practical.
What about Danya?
I find it funny how in the first half, as he's saying things like "so I decided to sacrifice this piece since it's necessary to open up the position" or "this move is very important for me", the bar just keeps dropping lower and lower like "tf you doing"
His opponent didn't defend optimally. If he did, Nelson wouldn't have shown us this game because he would have lost because of his basically unsound sac. But sometimes these sacrifices work, especially in something like blitz when decisions are made fast.
@@dougveganparadisebuilder5808 I wouldn't call the sacrifice unsound. Just because a 4000 ELO engine can see the optimal way to defend something doesn't mean that, given the time and circumstance, it's a bad move. That's the thing with engines, they're usually good for checking your games, but at some point you have to treat them like the homeless guy yelling advice at you from an underpass.
@@coreyeverett5500underpass homeless guys are often GM's so don't be tripping, take Dirty Joe's Advice
@@coreyeverett5500 you have a good point, but at the highest level, players are definitely good enough to be completely winning after that rook sac unless it’s a blitz game.
The main thing that differs GM’s from top engines is that the engines have slightly better moves consistently, but GM’s 99/100 times GM’s will take advantage of a -3 blunder
@@hankmoody666 I mean, of course they will. And there's basically tens of times a super GM sac'd a rook/queen etc to get a check mate. And yet, given an intel i9 10700K a computer will find a way to pull through. Something those GMs did not. That's kind of the difference, even if you're really good at the game you're not even close to being able to make the moves a computer does. That's kinda the point of the raw processing power. It's also the reason you have ''human moves'' and ''computer moves''. Because some computer moves end up with a "do this move and you'll get a mate in 39", which is something noone in this world is able to calculate.
Do you have any tricks for figuring out when to sacrifice the king?
Lol - I guess when you run out of other pieces to sacrifice?!
Every game as early as you can. Unfortunately, it's not a legal move to do it all at once so you have to be committed to making it work.
Try GM Abish Mathew videos he took world champion Vishwanath Anand queen with the king.
I do it all the time, just without the part where you get sometimes back.
Nelson you are an excellent teacher! Clear and concise and you explain things well for those of us who are fairly new to chess without being condescending.
Indeed.
I like the way you teach and explain why you did these moves. Thank you for these great content and information 👏 🙏 👍
I appreciate that!
I'm curious why the eval drop so much when you sacrifice the exchange (R vs N)? What was the computer best move or your opponent best response to that sacrifice?
Good question! The computer liked all the next few moves until he played Qf8. Before Qf8 it was -4 for black if he played dxe5. It's such a weird move though because it opens up his king to discovered check with d6 from the bishop on c4, but then after Kf8 I don't really have an attack any more. Really tough move to find in a 3/0 blitz game though. And after Qf8 then I'm just winning at that point.
@@ChessVibesOfficial thanks!
I think that one of the most important sacrifice rules is: think of what will happen if the opponent won't accept the sacrifice. You may have thought of a great tactic which forces a win, if the opponent accepts the sac, but sometimes they can reject it and it backfires on you.
Example game: Légal vs Saint Brie:
1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 d6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. Nc3 Bg4 5. Nxe5? Bxd1?? 6. Bxf7+ Ke7 7. Nd5#
Here, black did accept the sacrifice and lost, but if they played 5... Nxe5!, they would have been up a piece and have a good game.
An inactive piece is as good as a captured piece.
In some cases yes!
Just what I needed
More ways to give my opponent material
My eyes lit up when I discovered Nxh5 very quickly. Rated 950, feels good to pick up on that
DUDE YOU GOT ON AGADMATORS CHANNEL
Oh snap! Too bad he didn't mention that I have a channel :-/
Man, you played like a barbarian! I hope to model this. Nice win!
Thanks!
Always love sacrifices where the plan comes together. Paul Morphy was the absolute grandmaster of sacrifices
He really was!
though the sacrifice was suboptimal, you could have played rxh5, black can take it back with his rook or move ng6.
If he took the rook with his own, you check with nxh5 and then take his queen after he moves to h8. (if he goes h7 you force him away from the queen with bh7+)
if he didnt take the rook, you go qe4 to threaten qxg6, only thing black can do to survive for a bit is sac their queen on f7
Hey nelson you were just highlighted on agadmator channel i hope it boosts your channel. Go comment he might pin you 💪
Just came from that video
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah I did we'll see what happens!
@@ChessVibesOfficial just came from Agadmator, enjoyed the vid. I think it worked!
Nice video! Stockfish hated that rook sac so much that he nicknamed you Tal haha
Nelson you are a gifted teacher! Your mind controls your words as admirably as your play. Cheers.
From the position before you made the sacrifice, stockfish’s best move is a4. If both players play Stockfish from that point on it transposes into a beautiful Queen and King vs Rook and King endgame where white uses check to capture the Rook and then uses their King and Queen together to mate Black.
The Rook sacrifice, on the other hand, just about loses by force when both players play the best moves. Funny thing is, if Black ignores your Knight sacrifice (which is the best move at that point) and plays a3, they are completely winning.
Nobody can see 27 moves ahead. Sorry.
Well done Nelson. Just subscribed! All your tips are well explained and something average players can grasp and possibly use as part of our improvement.
I sacrifice a very important material while playing against 2000 rated player scroll to know
You are scrolling 🤩

Let me tell you
Almost
My king if u want to know your secret scroll more
You are sussy :8 )
9:03 "But I had a really cool move here"
My brain: "Must be en passant"
"It involves a queen sacrifice"
My brain: "oh"
Beautiful game! You went all 19th century there 👌❤️
One time me and my stepfather played chess i had a plan to checkmate him, the plan went both was i sacrificed my rook, if he took it , 4-5 moves checkmate, if not( which what happened in the game) i mated him in 3 moves
Lovely game to demonstrate sacrifices. Surprised to see the calculations as except rooks none of the other pieces were inline to attack king. Plz. let me know how to develop such visibility.
*Me, a professional at hanging pieces:* I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
7:53 you also blocked his king for retreating to king side, now he's there and king is exposed that's why engine says White is completely winning
When you sac something other than the queen
Engine:what are you doing
When you sac your queen
Engine:Yusss!
Hey just saw your game on Agadmators channel. Very nice.
Thanks buddy! Didn't even know someone had submitted it!
@@ChessVibesOfficial you have good subscribers/students.
beautiful game. thank you for that analysis!
Qf8 was a blunder by your opponent. Analysis immediately goes from -5.1 to +4.7.
This guy : sacrifice queen for checkmate
Meanwhile me* : sacrificed the queen for free
I actually already know how to sac my queen very well. I dont know why the computer calls it a “blunder”
Show a positional sacrifice of a rook for a knight or bishop!
very beautiful game. Tx for sharing
Very cool. This the middle game, is where I struggle the most. I've been playing chess since the early 80's. Great content. Thank you.
Been here since 10k subs cant wait for 1m!!
I am very scarer to sacrifice but I must destroy my scare!
Trying to work our those checkmate patterns was really satisfying. Speaking of satisfying: what an awesome game!
Nice game, would have liked to see why the engine doesn't approve of the sacrifices though
I saw Nh5 for the double check, but I couldn't find the mate because I kept trying to go Qg7+ instead of Qh8+. I got hyper focused on capturing his queen with Nxg7 after Qxg7.
Let's be honest, that was a pretty bad sacrifice and totally unnecessary, but you were lucky that your opponent defended very poorly and you won so that's all that matters at the end. Good job!
that sacrifice was mate in 6 though. no matter where he moved after the sacrifice (which was one square) he was getting mated. it was a good sacrifice
@@pure2291 No, when he started sacrificing his rook nothing was forced and at that moment he was actually losing badly (if you don't believe me you can check with an engine). He got lucky his opponent made several mistakes defending that towards the last few moves, there was nothing he could do to save the game.
Nicely explained! One of my favourite chess channel
Enjoyable and informative. Well done and thank you for all of your hard work. Love the channel
K h 5 , K f 6, Ke8, Q h8, found in 4 moves
After watching your videos I recently implemented two moves for a victory
1. Protected a queen with a knight for a checkmate setup
2. Sacrificed a rook to lure the queen away so that I can enforce the checkmate
Thanks for these amazing videos!
6:55 - Whooooooa hold up, Stockfish haaaaates Qf8, what's the story yo?
(ChessVibes addresses this in a different comment thread. There's a pawn capture that Stockfish wants to hold the position and eventually win on material, and Qf8 was the last chance for this capture to be good. After Qf8, the threat is imminent and it's too late.)
Great video, I'm 800 only but I learned a lot. thank you!
only?
saw the mate 4 moves out im happy now
this feels like a strategy game anime
Alekhine and Tal would have loved this game
I don't understand ... I think you won because your opponent made some mistakes because the sacrifice was not correct.. Stockfish said that after Rxh5 and gxh5, the evaluation of the position changed from +0.86 to - 2.74... So why you're saying that Rxh5 was a good sacrifice? If opponents plays good, you're losing that game..
9:09 I'm counting mate in 4 1. Nxh5++ Kg8 2. Nf6+ Kg7 3. Ne8++ Kg8 4. Qxh8# now I'll unpause and see what I'm missing... Ah queens sacs are hard for me to wrap my head around, it's like gambling with your whole life's savings
That game was a perfect example of how beautiful chess can be. :)
6:54 Qf8?? Engine: I changed my mind. 7:16 Kg7?? Engine: Bruh 7:28 Kg6??? Stockfish dies. RIP Stockfish
So it's a NM but a Stockfish in disguise
Great teaching lesson. Thank you very much. Watch out next time I play chess!

Nice video! I feel like I can reach 2200 in lichess rn haha! (Currently 2100)
For Rook and Knight sacrifice Engine was screaming " Blunder..Blunder "
Anyway nice game 👍
What a wonderful game ! Thanks for sharing it
at 9:10, I move the white horse to e8, king forced to g8, again I sac the queen at h8, then rook to h5, and mate after black queen momentarily blocks rook. Not sure if that is more or fewer moves, but it is another option to achieve forced mate. Or maybe I missed something.
My chess app let me go capturing all his pieces at the same time it was setting up a checkmate while I was distracted. Another game I sacrificed a higher piece to get a better controlling position and it worked as in time I won.
For some reason I was not considering taking the pawn with the knight. I was thinking knight E8 double check, then sacrificing queen for rook, then taking pawn with rook for another check, move knight back check, then either take queen with pawn or rook h7 check.
beautiful game thanks for sharing, loved the "don't try this at home" disclaimer at the end don't just sacrifice hoping for the best
you know what i learned from alphazero games is that there isn't a value to useless pieces. it doesn't matter if you are 5 points down if all your pieces are active and doing something. look at blacks white square bishop and queenside rook. those are absolute clowns and totally useless. sticking to the point system isn't always the best. a useless piece is worth zero points or even less if it blocks other pieces.
I won three times after Rook sacrifice. those were some of the most satisfying checkmates in my career.
Isn't it actually mate in 4 if you just move the knight right back to f6 then down to e8 then queen or rook to h8? The only thing black could do is take the knight with queen, but that changes nothing.
3:45 if he just moved the pawn forward instead of trading wouldn't he have completely blocked the right side of the board?
Instantly spotted the double check, followed by Qh8+... I expected black to resign as he knew he was lost.
I haven't watched this video yet but it seems silly to be to learn how to sacrifice pieces. I do it all the time. Too much really, I think that is why I loose so much. Maybe I should just shut up and watch the video.
It is really bad to see not working secrifice. I hope you would never play like that(And of cource that wasn't panished - also bad)
Bro blunders a pawn on his second move lmao... Black already has a reasonable advantage with correct play by taking that pawn
I somehow saw the rook and knight sacrifices (yes...the engine hates me, AnarchyChess would have a field day), but man that queen sac was incredible, didn't see that whatsoever (would have played knight x h5, but then probably knight f6 or something). Great game, well played, wow.
Now thats some way to play chess lol
I found Nh5 at 9:06 because once when I was playing with my day I double checkmated him...
Why are you giving wrong information?it was the alekhine defense and then,a pirc defence transformation occured.
Yeah you say you sacrificed three pieces yet you have an equal number of pieces in the end and two extra pawns. So what's up with this?
Nice mating combination but surely this is mate in 4, as in 4 white moves, not mate in 6. Not sure how you get mate in 6. If counting ½ moves it's mate in 7.
My favorite sacrifice is like bishop to horse
Why am I doing that? Welp im doing that so they can't no longer castle
I was so close to finding the mate in 6, I saw the right moves to checkmate if he moved the king but I forgot he could block the rook check with his queen
I remember the first time i sacrificed a horsie and a queen to make a bishop and rook checkmate.it feels amazing to calculate that far in a real game
Love your content man! Not a fan of thumbails like these though.
Fair enough! What thumbnails do you like?
@@ChessVibesOfficial I think most of your other thumbnails are really good. Like the one for "8 crucial chess concepts" for example.
Thanks for the feedback 👍 Thumbnail and titles are one of the toughest parts for me.
Alekhine proved: the power and ability of pieces and pawns are more important than its point value.
I too sacrificed my queen, bishop and rook in a game once and got really nicely checkmated.
Nelson: *Sacrafice rook*
The engine: 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕💀👁️👄👁️
If there's one thing I'm expert in chess at it's sacrificing pieces .... much to my sorrow.
That was awesome!!! What a great game!!!
That was awesome!
Thanks!
I thought I did the opening right the pyramid opening I moved my kings pawn not my queens pawn
