Toffee

What actually a toffee is? A toffee is anything that amuses a person so much that he forgets the rest of the world.
Now, in chess I sometimes give toffees to my opponents, which means I give them my piece without any defence. That piece actually would be a strategy as it would either help me to mate my opponent or take his main pieces.
>1600 players easily accept toffees but when they start learning why people give them toffees, they don't accept a toffee afterwards. <1600 players hardly accept toffees. You have to give them smaller toffees.
For example.

Watch move 21. I gave my opponent a pawn toffee.
Have you given your opponent a toffee? Please post your games.
Why didn't he accept the toffee?
Totally ruined the game as it'd have been a clean checkmate rather than the humiliation
Best though to make a distinction between toffee sacs and toffee hangs. ;)
I guess the op has asked us to post games in which we have given our opponent toffees.
He has not asked us to discuss about toffees.
