A comon mistake people make after a sacrafice is that they play as if they lost the material, rather than gave it up willfully!

I must be careful not to make that mistake.

Yes, that's true. You must concentrate on taking advantage of your good position without rushing, while I must concentrate in a good defense.

No problem, but that's why you should try to give ADVANCED notirfication when you're going to be away.

Thanks, you are right, I shouldn't wait to the last minute to do everything. I always do it and very often have problems.

Now we have similar material but you still have better position. I'm going to review the game and consider if it's a good idea to accept the sacrifices in this opening. What is your opinion?
