Winning Sacrifices: a theory course

A sacrifice needs a concrete follow-up. Check the attackers, defensive replies and full material balance.

5 lessons, each followed by its own puzzle drill, then 10 themed puzzle packs.

• The Greek Gift — Check that the knight and queen can follow the bishop sacrifice.
• The Demolition Sacrifice — Sacrifice to open a line near the king only when pieces can use it.
• Add Another Attacker — Bring enough attackers before opening the king’s defenses.
• The Sacrifice to Promote — Compare the piece you give up with the promotion you can force.
• When the Sacrifice Fails — Test the opponent’s strongest defense before committing to the sacrifice.
