If possible? The sac is awfully basic and the Bxh6 theme is really one of the
most played king assault sacs. Really, if this came as a surprise read up some
books on tactics. The reason is that these types of attacks need to be rote.
Kingside attack tactics are always the same: The king is either on g8 or h8 and
one is saccing or preparing to sac on any of the squares around to invite
everyone to the party. If the sac holds up check when the sac is refused, and
always check for countersacs or zwischenzugs.
