Exchange Sacrifices
Sacrificing to Restrict Your Opponent
Space is a very important positional factor, and after an exchange sarifice the scope of the rooks often becomes markedly less than that of the minor pieces.

Exchange Sacrifices
The greatest master of the intuitive positional exchange sacrifice was world champion Tigran Petrosian.
Sacrificing for Blockade
As define by Nimzowitch, the blockade is an independent strategic mechanism with the aim of activating one's piece under the cover of the opponent's
pawns and to create pressure on the enemy position both in the center, and on the flanks.

Exchange Sacrifices
Positional exchange sacrifices constitute a very complex positional device which demands a well-developed feel for the initiative. they are usually aimed at the activation of one's pieces and pawns, as well as bringing out their power and exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's position. Of course, there is also a simplier version of the exchange sacrifice, one which is directed at attacking the enemy king using, for example, the weakness of a particular colour complex of squares, but we will not touching upon this subject here. In this topic we shall investigate several different kinds of intuitive exchange sacrifices.
Sacrificing for Centralization
Piece coordination in the center of the board creates possibilities for seizing space, constricting the opponent's piece, and switching to an attack on the king. The following game features an example.
