In the attached game White makes three successive sacrifices to win eventually with 6,5 points.
Comments by me between 114 and 218, the rest is live kibitz.

Re: Sacrifice
That's crazy. To read it out and know he would make enough to be close/win is incredible. Definitely not something in the kyu/lower dan repertoire

Re: Sacrifice
I don't think they were clearly such good sacrifices, more just an illustration that white was plenty ahead after the top left kill and could afford to make concessions to maintain the lead. My feeling is that if white hadn't done that stuff in the lower right then he could have won by more.
