The Strategy Instructors Volume 3: The Exchange Sacrifice

MoveTrainer® Strategy/Tactics course by GM Ramesh R.B. & by GM Efstratios Grivas

Sacrifice The Rook’s Delayed Prospects —

Instantly Amp Up Your Piece Power!

Super chess coaches Grandmaster Ramesh R.B. and Grandmaster Efstratios Grivas reveal the subtle art of sacrificing the exchange. By trading your rook’s 5 points for the 3 of a bishop or knight — you unlock an “extra” piece. One that creates overwhelming pressure when it matters most!

At the core of the exchange sacrifice is an unspoken truth among chess masters:

That the rook is built for the endgame.

This long-range piece thrives on an open board, where it can fire in all 4 directions. But when crowded with pawns and pieces? Its potential remains unrealized.

By giving up the rook’s late-game promise — uncertain and far-off — you gain the immediate impact of a bishop or knight. Pieces poised to win the game NOW!

You can launch 2, 3, or even 4 pieces within range to strike the enemy king. After which, your attack plays itself!

to pounce on the kingside

Establish unshakable control of the center. All while crafting geometric combinations that the straight-shooting rook could never achieve.

The rook may be a bulldozer. But it can’t

zig or zag like the bishop and knight!

Exploit your opponent’s need for open files. Line up your pieces behind a solid wall of pawns — while their passive rooks can only wait in dread for your breakthrough.

Our Award-Winning Duo of Supercoaches

Enter The Strategy Instructors Volume 3: The Exchange Sacrifice.

Inside, you’ll meet the “Supercoach of Indian chess.”

Ramesh R.B. honed many young talents into top GMs, such as R. Praggnanandhaa (peak rating 2737) and R. Vaishali (2-time Olympiad gold medalist).

Ramesh also coached the Indian team to bronze in the 2014 and 2022 Chess Olympiad. So it’s no surprise he earned FIDE’s Mark Dvoretsky Award for best junior trainer.

Joining you is another supercoach from Greece.

Efstratios Grivas brings chess mastery earned through 186 matches. He earned the FIDE senior trainer title in 2004. And since then, he has dedicated over 12,000 hours to training young players around the world.

Ramesh and Grivas took different paths to greatness. But they both agree — the exchange sacrifice is one of the most versatile weapons in a master’s arsenal.

World championships have been decided through “rook takes knight or bishop.” From game 10 of Petrosian vs. Spassky in 1966, game 6 of Spassky vs. Fischer in 1972, to game 4 of Liren vs. Nepomniachtchi in 2023.

If you follow the latest tournaments, you’ll see exchange sacrifices whenever the 2400-2500s and up are in action.

But most players still haven’t caught on.

Just think back to the last 20 or 30 games you played at the club or online. How often did you see an exchange sac? Not a lot, because many remain stuck in rigid point-counting…

Which means you have a golden opportunity to push past your peers!

By mastering the exchange sacrifice, you stay alert for exactly the type of winning move the competition overlooks. Through almost 9 hours of video, you’ll explore how it can create different advantages.

💥 From overwhelming attacks against the enemy king
