There are times when your opponent will attack one of your chess pieces that are unprotected. Do not give up and sacrifice it immediately, instead take one important chess piece of your opponent and make it a hostage. Make the move and tell him that you can spare his or her chess piece if he or she spares yours. He may choose to capture your piece away and if he or she does it, take his chess pieces also. However, if your opponent feels that, that chess piece is important for him or her in the future, he or she will move that piece out of the harm’s way.

If one of the opposing chess piece is occupying the square you need to use in order to perform a secured checkmate, make a sacrifice. Use your queen and position her where she can be captured by the opponent’s piece that you need to move. However, ensure that you already inspected the board for all possible future movements and that the checkmate is already secured before sacrificing your queen. You do not want to end you queen’s life without ensuring your victory.
