IMO Chess System Tal plays a lot of real sacs!!! Here is one nice example from a blitz match between CST and me: CST - F. Jermann (ICC Blitz about 2200) 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Sc3 Sf6 4.Lg5 Sbd7 5.e3 Lb4 6.Sf3 c5 7.cxd5 exd5 8.Ld3 0-0 9.0-0 Lxc3 10.bxc3 c4 11.Lc2 Da5 12.Se5 h6 13.Sxd7 Sxd7 14.Lxh6!? <---- a real sac with some dynamic compensation! I think no other program will play it!!! gxh6 15.Dg4+ Kh8 16.Df5 Kg7 17.Dh7+ Kf6 18.e4! dxe4 19.Dxe4 Sb6 20.f4 Lf5?? [20...Dd5 21.Dh7 Lf5 (21...Ld7 22.Dxh6+ Ke7 23.Tae1+ Kd8 24.Dxf8+) 22.Dxh6+] 21.De5+ 1-0 I have analysed the position with several programs (e. g. Fritz 5, Hiarcs 6). Maybe these programs are right saying that there is no full compensation. Nevertheless CST was shocking me in the game. You see the result! I think in almost every 5th or 10th game CST plays such sacs! Simply enjoy it!! Nice discussion!
