I remember only few games where I had the chance to make a sac leading to a
decisive advantage or, better to the mate. These games were played at club level
indeed, I think that at highest level it's more difficult to have these chances.

Yes , Maria Clara, also in my memory are still alive , Kaspy just wanted to say
IMHO that nowadays it's difficult to see again these "pearls" since chess
evolved to a point where the modern defensive techniques are reducing the
possibilities of these wonderful combinations.
