Chess Sacrifice as a Chess Tactics: timing in keeping with force accumulation

A sacrificial attack that you are unable to take to a successful end, which means the realization of your aims, becomes a liability. If the opponent can defend successfully and thwart your attack, you are faced with the handicap of not only a deficiency in material but also loss of time and to regroup your pieces may become impossible. Your opponent will exploit your weaknesses to create his own attacks which you will possibly be unable to resist. The outcome is the opposite of what you intended with your sacrifice.
