Chess slang
word, abbreviation of
word "Sacrifice".
In chess, a sacrifice usually means a move that gives up a
piece with the objective of gaining tactical or positional compensation, maybe even straight checkmating the opponent. Also, often used while capturing a piece of a lower value with a stronger piece, especially a Queen.
