LarryC's Tactic Handbook

Episode 3 - Rook Sacs on g2/g7

Pg2 and Pg7 are two important soldiers, which guard their Sire very closely. In this episode of his Tactics Handbook, GM Larry Christiansen shows us how these two little but valiant warriors can become the target of the enemy attack, especially by the powerful rooks. Sacrificing a rook on g2/g7 is one of the most important attacking themes, and in this video Larry takes us on a rollercoaster journey with a lot of brilliant examples played by great players, who have used this tactical motif to destroy the enemy's king defense and unleash furious attacks.
