Sacrifices
are an essential part of chess. Those who never consider sacrificing will
miss countless opportunities and find that promising positions repeatedly
slip away. Players who do not appreciate their opponents' sacrificial
possibilities will be unable to see danger signs, and find themselves on
the wrong end of too many king-hunts. Rather than merely cataloguing the
various possibilities and providing examples, LeMoir discusses the
possible follow-ups to the sacrifices, the defensive options against them,
and the positional factors that might suggest whether the sacrifice will
be sound or unsound. There are many important types of chess positions
that can only be played well by those who understand the thematic
sacrifices that are possible. David LeMoir is an experienced chess-player and writer. He twice won the championship of the West of England and was runner-up on four occasions.

In a successful career as a business strategy consultant, he has made good use of the strategic and decision-making skills that are developed by playing chess. He has earned a reputation for writing chess books that discuss important practical chess topics with great clarity Euro 26,50
