Aug-03-10 L Maczuski vs Kolisch, 1863 
|
xqdashi: C4gambit: After 14...Bf5 white can always
go 15.Qe5+. At that point either the B on f5 is lost or if 15...Be6 then the N on e4 is lost. |

Nov-23-09 Fischer vs Evans, 1963 
|
xqdashi: Resignation Trap,
After 17.Re1+ Ne7, 18.Kf2 looks interesting.
18...Bxd4+ doesn't work for Black because 19. Nxd4 Qxf5 20.Nxf5 not only regains the piece but also wins the e7 N. At the same time
18...Bg7? leads to troubles for black after 19. Rxe7+ Kxe7 (Qxe7 Re1 pins) ... |

|
xqdashi: <DanielBryant> You can try "Positional Sacrifices" by Neil McDonald. It covers a lot interesting types of sacrifices including exchange sacs, Q for R+B, etc. all with positional or dynamic considerations rather than immediate tactical follow-ups. It is an excellent book. |
