  14. No, a decoy is different then a sacrifice but a decoy may involve a sacrifice. That is unless your talking about a temporary sacrifice to which I would say they are similar, but still not the same.

  15. So a decoy is basically the same as a sacrifice?

    BTW, what chess program are you using to make these videos?
