Sacrificing (Advances since Tal) - Training event 13-14 October 2018 - JonathanIMGrant - 05-09-2018
Mikhail Tal, “The Magician from Riga” and 8th World Chess Champion, was renowned for his sacrificial ability and beautiful attacking games. Over the last 60 years, the top players developed the theory of sacrificing to deal with massive improvements in defensive techniques.
Typical sacrificial patterns are enjoyable to learn and use in your own games. This training event is intended to help you decide when to sacrifice and how to defend against sacrifices.
The best way to master the art of sacrifice is practice. The primary focus will be on practical application through solving exercises and playing positions after following demonstrated examples. Aimed at all aspiring players prepared to work hard on improving their game, up to titled level. Former Scottish Champion Jonathan Grant, FIDE Trainer, will run the session in conjunction with Edinburgh Chess Club.
