About this title

From the Back Cover:

All chessplayers love to sacrifice, whether this is part of a checkmating attack, a defensive measure, or simply an attempt to confuse the opponent. Gambitting material inevitably increases the tension on the board and sets the pulse racing. However, material cannot just be jettisoned on a whim. Every successful sacrifice is based on sound basic principles and mastery of these is a skill possessed only by a precious few. Now you can add yourself to that list! In this highly entertaining and instructive book, International Master Angus Dunnington acquaints the reader with key aspects of all kinds of chess sacrifices, including the exchange sacrifice, the restrictive sacrifice and, everybody's favorite, the queen sacrifice.
