Both Sides of the Coin

I don't get much opportunity to play Live Chess but when I do, I believe that it gives me a chance to try out tactics.  I played two games against Ben1971 and both were very educational.

The first game that I played was very interesting and the opponent provided me a chance to try out a sacrifice which was invaluable with me winning the game.  The game is shown below:

This game was very interesting and I hope to get more practice with tactics and sacrifices.  The second round provided me a chance to practice more sacrifices but unfortunately to some terrible blunders by me, I lost the second round.  However, I am pretty happy that Live Chess provides me a chance to practice tactics, meet fellow chess players and have fun.  The second game is shown below:

    The sacrifice of the Bishop, taking pawn (h3), with pawn taking bishop (h3), is a risk and maybee a game changing move, losing a valuable piece but gaining that posible check mate (within a few moves)/(The sacrifice), not allways working and with that, the game turning around with you then on the back foot,  being a piece down, but opening up thier defence. It does work and it doesnt work, it is worth the sacrifice if you can get the quick end result.
