To me, "sacrificial chess" is a type of chess in which the sacrificial player is accepting a certain amount of risk in exchange for perceived chances. Suicidal would be simply stupid chess. Incidentally, I am not interested in finding a program which plays at my abysmally low level. It must be competitive at the GM level, or it's not very interesting. This implies that the sacrifices must be sophisticated. Like Kramnik's Nxf7 for example. Ideally, the outcome should be beyond the horizons of both players, whether human or computer. Bob D.
