ChessBase and Fritz offer a useful option in the search mask, with which you can quickly filter out games from a database, in which sacrificial combinations occurred.

In the search mask you can find this option under the tab Position.

If you activate the option "Sacrifice" with a check mark, the program automatically searches for all games in the database in which material was sacrificed at short notice. You can easily combine this option with other search criteria. Example: White player= "Tal" "Wins only" and the option "Sacrifices" in the position search immediately filters all games of GM Tal from the selected database.

The search function then immediately lists the games from the database.

With the search for sacrifices, one quickly finds a rich selection of suitable positions for domestic training.
