The Dragon Slayer Attack

This is an interesting "Rook Sacrifice" "Boxmate" that I call "The DragonSlayer Attack." This combination comes from an amateur game. For the complete game click here." This sacrifice of the Rook for the "Dragon" only works when the opponent's Queen is not able to come to the defense of her King. This game was analyzed by computer and black lost the analysis, so be careful when and where you use this type of Rooksac. This is an example of a "Clearguard Sacrifice," a sacrifice whose purpose is to remove the guard, in this case the "Dragon" who is guarding King and Castle. It is an "Nchsac" a sacrifice that does not give check, an "Nmucsac" a Sacrifice that can be declined, an "Exchange Sacrifice" in which part of the sacrificed piece's value is returned,
