The following sac was "truly unexpected". The player of the black pieces wrote a book(?) including this game and said he nearly fell off his chair when he saw White's next move. It is understandable that the move was unexpected. White sacrifice's his rook for the pawn on e6, which is thoroughly protected by two other pawns. Few human beings would have the imagination required to even start thinking about this possibility. This move is on Tim Krabbe's list of the greatest moves ever played. In spite of the above, this may not be such a spectacular move to a chess program! Many of them will find this move, given enough time. I believe that the original poster was asking for "truly unexpected sac" for us human beings and that is a different story! [D] rn1r2k1/pq1p1ppp/3Rp3/2p5/2P1b3/4QNP1/P3PPBP/3R2K1 w - -
