This Positional Chess Sacrifices by Mihai Suba is an English-language chess book about one of the most subtle and fascinating strategic ideas in the game: positional sacrifices. Rather than promising an immediate attack, it shows how the value of a sacrifice may only become clear after several moves, when judgement, understanding and intuition come to the fore.
What this book covers
In chess, giving up material can be a striking way to fight for an advantage. Positional sacrifices are different, because their purpose is not always obvious at once. Mihai Suba explains this area in a clear and engaging way, helping readers understand the thinking behind these decisions.
This is a useful read for ambitious players, coaches and anyone who wants to move beyond simple tactical ideas and develop a deeper strategic approach at the board.
