Sometimes a sacrifice is the obvous move


I have to admit that I wanted to sacrifice a second rook on g2 (30. Rxg2) because I thought if he takes with the queen I play Ng5, , if het takes with the king that looked worse. In the analysis I found why that was not right, 31. Qxg2 Ng5 32. Rxf5!, black is still better then but lost 3 points advantage... I played 30. Nxc3 and I still thought Rxg2 was better but I also understood that it was taking unnecessary risks Sf showed that a lot of moves appear also winning but I almost never think that my position is winning. Even if I play a decent game I still consider myself a total noob.
It was very tempting to sac another rook. I might be addicted to saccing pieces. But do I really look at all the defences??? Anyway it was a nice game...
btw it is obvious lol
Sometimes a sacrifice is the obvious move, but maybe to obvious to get any interest. Chess is love
Which part of it was super obvious? I played so many games but when I rose my rating it got more horrific to do. I say to myself I am gonna mess something out.
Last night I was playing some over the board chess against my uncle. He was sacrificing his pieces pretty easily and lost the games. I said to him why do you keep sacrificing your pieces. You are not stockfish so you're not gonna find a 10 moves combination.
This is why I solve chess puzzles because I will never find those things in rapid chess. I just can't find some easy tactics, let alone one hard thing.

There will come a time that you find the tactics in your games, keep practising and good luck
The first sacrifice at first glance seems too big a sacrifice to make. Looking at it more keenly, it then turns out as the one move that titled the game in your favor. Your intended second Rook sacrifice would open up highly risky lines that can work for or against you. A well-executed game.
