The origins of this book are as intriguing as its contents. It began as a series of online lectures I gave for the Killer Chess Training Academy in 2023-2024, where I was trying to share my

insights into the mysteries of pawn sacrifices. I was mostly using examples from my own play, since there were many and I was most familiar with them, but also a few examples by other

grandmasters that had caught my attention through the years. I guess these lectures were wellreceived, since it was not long afterwards that Jacob Aagaard suggested they could

be turned into a book. I promptly accepted.
