====Sacrificing====

When a player intentionally allows one of his own pieces to be taken in exchange for better position, this is called '''Sacrificing'''.  Often, the piece is offered in an attempt to get the players opponent to weaken his own defenses by capturing with a piece that had been in a good defensive position. Morphy was well known for his games featuring many sacrifices, as was Mikhail Tal, a Latvian who was briefly world champion in the 1960s.
