The art of the exchange sacrifice<\/a> is a difficult one to master. Chess players are happy enough to sacrifice pawns left, right, and center in the opening and think nothing of blasting open a castled king’s position with a knight or bishop sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the timing of an exchange sacrifice (rook for knight or bishop) is much more difficult, especially when the compensation is not immediately obvious and, indeed, could take many more moves to manifest itself.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Exchange Sacrifice Unleashed<\/a><\/em> by George Mohr provides excellent coverage of the genre. This new book offers plenty of guidance and examples on this tricky subject, with the exchange sacrifices coming at all stages of the game and in a variety of circumstances, such as attack and defense. There is even a section on World Champions sacrificing the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n
