I think this has to do with what a "real sacrifice" is. I wouldn't use the term to describe a situation where a piece is sacrificed in return for massive compensation against the king, in the form of increased tactical complexity. I would tend to use it in a case where you're still playing chess after the sacrifice, a case where there aren't extremely specific threats that need to be made and defended against, a case where there are resources for either side, and where compensation tends to be long-range. bruce
