1994, 129 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch Most competitive players are very familiar with the idea of a sacrificial checkmating attack, but the positional sacrifice has been strangely neglected.
By means of a subtle positional sacrifice, a player can sometimes fundamentally alter the course of a game in his or her favor. Neil McDonald demonstrates just how effective well-executed positional sacrifices are. Topics covered include sacrifices to open lines for the pieces, sacrifices as a defensive weapon, the exchange sacrifice, the psychology of sacrifice and much more. Contents:
- Introduction: The Psychology of Sacrifices
- Theoretical and Standard Sacrifices
- Sacrifices to Create a Passed Pawn
- Sacrifices to Destroy the Opponent's Centre
- Sacrifices to Open Lines
- The Indian Bishop
- The 'Karpovian' Exchange Sacrifice
- Queen for Rook and Bishop Sacrifices
