Middlegame Madness #1: The Intuitive Sacrifice - VIDEO

Welcome to the first episode of the Middlegame Madness series! In this video, we dive into an incredible game played between Istvanovszki Kálmán FM and Vadász László GM (Olympic Champion) in 1992. This game is a masterpiece of creativity and daring, showcasing the fascinating concept of the intuitive sacrifice.

What is an intuitive sacrifice?
An intuitive sacrifice is a move where a player gives up material without being able to calculate the full range of variations. Unlike tactical sacrifices, which rely on precise calculation, intuitive sacrifices come from a player's strategic sense and deep understanding of the position. These sacrifices are often made when a player believes the resulting position will offer long-term compensation or dynamic chances, even if the exact path to success isn't clear. Intuitive sacrifices require boldness and confidence, as their success is rarely guaranteed.
