| 词条 | Greek gift sacrifice |
| 释义 |
In chess, the Greek gift sacrifice (or classical bishop sacrifice) is a typical sacrifice of a bishop by White playing Bxh7+ or Black playing Bxh2+. Greek gift sacrifices, or the threat of them, occur relatively frequently in play, especially at the lower levels. One of the most famous examples of the sacrifice is found in the game Edgard Colle versus John O'Hanlon, Nice 1930. Less commonly, a Greek gift sacrifice may be the prelude to a double bishop sacrifice, as seen in the game Lasker versus Bauer, Amsterdam 1889. {{algebraic notation|pos=toc}}Illustration{{unreferenced section|date=July 2017}}{{Chess diagram| tright | |rd|nd|bd|qd| |rd|kd| |pd|pd|pd|nd| |pd|pd|pd | | | | |pd| | | | | | |pd|pl| | | | |bd| |pl| | | | | | |nl|bl| |nl| | |pl|pl|pl| | |pl|pl|pl |rl| |bl|ql|kl| | |rl | After 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Nf3 Bb4 6.Bd3 0-0??, the Greek gift sacrifice wins. }} The position after the moves 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Nf3 Bb4 6.Bd3 0-0{{chesspunc|??}} (see diagram) is a simple case where the Greek gift sacrifice works.

EtymologyThe etymology of the phrase "Greek gift" in this context is not entirely clear. The obvious explanation is that it alludes to the Trojan Horse, and specifically to Laocoön's famous timeo danaos et dona ferentes ("I fear the Greeks even [when they are] bringing gifts", Virgil's Aeneid II.49). The Oxford Companion to Chess, however, suggests that one explanation is that the sacrifice often occurred in Gioachino Greco's games. References
