Learn When to Sacrifice a Pawn to Empower Your Pieces

Some of the greatest games in history have featured a master player sacrificing a pawn at the right moment, activating their pieces into an explosive attack.

But many players below master level lack this essential chess skill, reluctant to sacrifice concrete material just for activity or positional compensation.

That all changes with this course!

Candidate Master Can Kabadayi is back with another installment in his series on positional decision making in chess. The experienced coach and popular author of The Art of Exchanging Pieces and The Art of Burying Pieces returns to Chessable – this time to help you master the positional pawn sac.

In this course you’ll:

♟ Practice making positional pawn sacrifices to activate your pieces. With guided puzzles, you’ll learn how to free yourself from a cramped position, open avenues of attack for your pieces, and speed up development

♟ Master the art of deciding when – and when not – to make a pawn break. Like sacrifices, pawn breaks are another great method of activating pieces, but sometimes they can help your opponent more than you – learn to make the right call every time

♟Learn how to restrict your opponent’s pieces while activating yours. Pawn maneuvers can also have the dual effect of obstructing your opponent’s plans – learn how to throw a wrench into your opponent’s plan while advancing yours simultaneously

Through 6 themed chapters and 1 quiz chapter, you’ll learn how some of history’s greatest players “moved the wood out of the way” to get their pieces to work. CM Kabadayi is a master at explaining what’s happening in the position so you recognize the conditions for a sacrifice – you’ll quickly see why Chessable users have raved over his other courses!
