I seem to win a lot of games when I sac a rook for a bishop or a knight. Is this just me, or do exchange sacrifices often lead to a win?
I realize that any fool or noob can go overboard and do it all the time, but there are positions when it just feels right and they almost always lead to a win.
What guidance is there to better know when that sac of a rook for a minor piece is likely to pay off?
