The Deepest Exchange Sac 🗡️ (And New Course!)

Chess Strategy is very often an intimidating topic as it can be very abstract and broad. I mean, winning a piece by capturing it or gaining material by attacking two or more pieces is something which we can understand quickly but how about exploiting the advantage of having a better pawn structure? That sounds too deep, doesn’t it?

The good news is that I have created a course covering chess strategy with a 3-step method where you will test your new knowledge on instructive positions from the 3 stages of the game (opening, middlegame and ending).

For today’s lesson I wanted to share what I consider the deepest exchange sacrifice that I have ever seen. Honestly, it took me months to understand this sacrifice 😊

It was in 1994 where former world champion Garry Kasparov and Alexey Shirov met at the Credit Suisse Masters Tournament in Horgen (Switzerland).

Even though both Kasparov and Shirov are extremely tactical players, the sacrifice that Kasparov played was definitely of strategic nature.

When you give a rook and end up having a knight in return, you probably know that you should aim for a closed position where the rooks of your opponent cannot become active.

However, what makes this sacrifice more extraordinary is that Shirov manages to get some open files for his rooks. But Kasparov’s idea was just too deep. He makes sure that his opponent’s rooks don’t have any targets. This is one of the many topics that I cover in my course (the key ideas that make a piece good or bad).

Additionally, most of the game will revolve around a useless knight on b7.
