Who wants to sacrifice the bishop on f7?

The bishop sacrifice on f7 is one of the deadliest and most popular tactical patterns in chess. This seeks to remove the foundations of the royal fortress, as f7 is one of the closest squares to the king. Generally after this sacrifice, the king faces serious threats of mate and on multiple occasions is taken from his refuge to squares in which he perishes, and if not, then other benefits will be obtained.

Let's take a look at a few examples of when this sacrifice was executed well


I hope you have learned some valuable ideas with these positions and see you around!

Hi 

Let me tell you a little bit about my chess background. I started playing chess at the age of 8 because I wanted to defeat my best friend at the time. What can I say? I am super competitive, but I have become a better person now!

So after a lot of chess lessons, I became a provincial and national youth champion. Also, I got second place in the Pan American U-20 Championship (2012) and 10th place in the World Youth Chess Championship (2011), and I earned the FIDE Master title at 15. My peak FIDE rating was 2190.


At the moment, I am not playing OTB that much because I am a full-time chess coach.

Well, let's speak about what the blog is about! I have decided to write some articles about my chess experience, my students' stories, and whatever I can share with you that has to do with chess, basically.


Finally, I hope you like at least a few of them, and I am open to any suggestions! So see you around and make your opponents cry, not your friends! happy
