I have seen a queen-sacrifice called just that, when, in reality, it wasn't a sacrifice at all, it was a simple combination that led to a forced mate or a win of material. So I don't belive "positional sacrifices" exist, technically. Either they are sound because there will be long-range tactics that return the material plus advantage, or they are unsound because the long-range tactics prove that the material can be held without losing. same song, second verse... positional moves are simply moves that feel right because we can't search them deeply enough to prove that they are right. But many of what 100 years ago would be called positional sacrifices can now be shown to be nothing more than simple (but deep) tactics...
