I think Ark's is easily the most impressive so far. That game was sick dude. 😀
He could get out of it by saccing the queen for the knight then taking the pawn for check. King moves over and can block the check. I haven't looked at it to deeply but those two connected passed pawns with a rook there look tempting.

Edit: You saw mine, right? 😉 😛

I'd like to take co-credit for this example, as without my contribution it would not have happened... 😀

Definition of "sacrifice" in chess, from Z00t's post on another thread...

Ordinarily, if a player loses a chess piece or exchanges it for a lower value piece, it is detrimental to their game, decreasing their chances of winning and/or increasing the chances of losing the game. However, in the event of a sacrifice, the intention is to improve one's position. To be a sacrifice, the piece is deliberately given up by the sacrificing player, not lost due to oversight or a forced capture. In spite of the intended effect, a sacrifice can still turn out to be a mistake.

This is the closest thing I have to a Queen Sac...

Game 2041390

Of course its not really a "sacrifice" seeing as it leads to mate.

^ the link refers you to a 3 move mate problem - and upon completion you will spot the similiarities between this mate, and the Queen sac posted in this thread.

Here's a queen "sac" even though it still leads to mate.
