As important a piece as the queen is, rank counts for little once a player is convinced her sacrifice is necessary in higher interests. Over the centuries, this voluntary surrender of the queen has proved a source of continuing fascination and inspiration for novice and master alike.
A unique compilation and systematic analysis of over four hundred of the finest examples of this heroic theme, Queen Sacrifice provides invaluable training material for both club and tournament players (who frequently tend to overvalue their queen) and offers a source of great aesthetic pleasure to the connoisseur.
Iakov Neishtadt was formerly Editor-in-Chief of the influential Soviet magazine 64; also a prolific author, English translations of his works includes Catastrophe in the Opening and Paul Keres Chess Master Class, both published by Pergamon.
