The perfect sacrifice is every chess player‘s dream. You give your opponent material, but in return you receive overwhelming piece activity, which together with creative ideas, can lead to an unforgettable game. However, sacrificing can also turn into a nightmare if the compensation is not enough, or the combination does not work. That is why the Indian top player and eleven-time(!) Olympic participant Krishnan Sasikiran has made it his mission to show sacrificing in all its aspects.
Throughout the video course, he shows various examples from his career to explain sacrifices for initiative, an attack, a better pawn structure and much more.
Being a conceptual player, he explains the thought process and emotions during his games and dives into his decision making over the board.
Occasionally, the student is asked to calculate blindfold along with him, so that visualization and calculation of variations are also part of the training process.
Krishnan Sasikiran is a chess Grandmaster from India, the second Indian to reach 2700 Elo after former World Champion Vishy Anand. His peak Elo was 2720 (2012) which made him number 21 in the world rankings. Asian Games gold medallist 2006 and Olympiad Bronze medallist from Tromso, Norway 2014, Sasikiran has been one of the key members of the Indian national team from 1998 to 2022 winning several medals for his country over more than two decades. He has won many closed and open events, and assisted Vishy Anand as a second for his matches against Magnus Carlsen in 2013 (Chennai, India) and 2014 (Sochi, Russia).

Das perfekte Opfer ist der Traum eines jeden Schachspielers. Man gibt dem Gegner Material, erhält dafür jedoch eine überwältigende Figurenaktivität, die zusammen mit kreativen Ideen zu einer unvergesslichen Partie führen kann. Opfer können jedoch auch zu einem Albtraum werden, wenn die Kompensation nicht ausreicht oder die Kombination nicht funktioniert. Aus diesem Grund hat es sich der indische Spitzenspieler und elfmalige Olympiateilnehmer Krishnan Sasikiran zur Aufgabe gemacht, Opfer in all ihren Facetten aufzuzeigen.
Im gesamten Videokurs zeigt er anhand verschiedener Beispiele aus seiner Karriere, welche Opfer für Initiative, einen Angriff, eine bessere Bauernstruktur und vieles mehr erforderlich sind. Als konzeptioneller Spieler erläutert er seine Gedankengänge und Emotionen während seiner Partien und gibt Einblicke in seine Entscheidungsfindung am Brett. Gelegentlich werden die Teilnehmer aufgefordert, gemeinsam mit ihm blind zu rechnen, sodass auch die Visualisierung und Berechnung von Varianten Teil des Trainingsprozesses sind.
