Chess PatternsLearn the Greek Gift, Double Bishop and Other Chess Sacrifices
Classic sacrificial attacks on the king: the Greek gift, the double bishop sacrifice, Bxh6 and the sacrifice on f7. Learn the set-up, the conditions that make each sacrifice work and the main defences, then drill every variation.
When you know them, test yourself in Practice: random positions where the motif is hidden, so you have to spot it on your own.
