It was immediately recognized as a classic, a masterpiece that examined the nature of chess sacrifices. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this modernized, 21st century edition, all of Spielmann's original work has been preserved. The antiquated English Descriptive Notation has been replaced with modern Figurine Algebraic, and German grandmaster Karsten M?ler has added his own notes to Spielmann's original text. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the German grandmaster has gone far beyond simply inserting clarifying commentary. M?ler has virtually doubled the size of the original work by adding eleven new chapters, including: The Greek Gift Sacrifice Bxh2\/7+; Disaster on g7; The Achilles' Heel f7; Strike at the Edge; Destroying the King's Shelter; Sacrifices on f6; Sacrifices on e6; The Magic of Mikhail Tal; Shirov's Sacrifices; and The Fine Art of Defense. In addition, there are exercises at the end of each new chapter to help you hone your skill of sacrificing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Grandmaster Karsten M?ler's notes to the original text, along with the new material, brilliantly complements Spielmann's classic work. A welcome addition to any chessplayer's library...\" -- Garry Kasparov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Spielmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936490781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936490783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Enterprises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Rudolf Spielmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051835715839,"sku":"9781936490783","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0132d589-9311-4bdf-9bc4-f04860b2d9ed.jpg?v=1685015455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-sacrifice-in-rudolf-spielmann-9781936490783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
