This Positional Piece Sacrifice in Chess is a paperback chess book about one of the game’s most demanding strategic ideas: giving up material for long-term positional gain. Written by Ireneusz Gawle and Jerzy Moraś, it will appeal to club players and to anyone who wants a clearer sense of when a sacrifice is a considered strategic decision rather than a tactical shot.
What is this book about?
The book focuses on positional piece sacrifice, where a player gives up material to gain something more lasting in return — better piece activity, a stronger pawn structure, control of key squares or the initiative. It is a useful subject for readers who want to move beyond simple calculation and develop a more mature view of the game.
It is also well suited to analysing your own games, preparing for tournaments or studying the decisions seen in master play. The paperback format makes it easy to use during everyday study at the board, at home or at the club.
