Sacrificing a Piece to Weaken the King – A Masterclass in Attack

Sacrificing a minor piece (bishop or knight) without a direct winning combination is one of the most advanced and courageous decisions a player can make. It's not just about brute force, it's about intuition, pressure, long-term weaknesses, and faith in your attacking chances.

In my new video, Sacrificing a Piece to Weaken the King, we dive deep into this powerful idea through two brilliant examples from none other than former World Champion Veselin Topalov, against 2 legends: Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik.

What You'll Learn:

🔥 How to sacrifice a piece for long-term initiative
🔥 The importance of creating a vulnerable king instead of going for material
🔥 Why a position that's easier to play can often be more practical than a “+0.00” evaluation
🔥 How world-class players calculate and trust their instincts in complex positions
