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. In this
instructive and entertaining book International Master 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.
