I would like to mention that the whole family contributed to this book. We are also extremely thankful to our friends, who, thanks to their previous experience, have introduced us to the process of creating chess books, with their invaluable advice and ideas. Considering the abundance of material regarding this topic that was gathered, we decided to make this book only the first, lower level of the “Positional sacrifice” edition. My father and I worked hard to make sure that the new book will be as interesting as the first one, but also more adapted to the wider audience.

    For more information, contact: Rebecca Buffington Saint Louis Chess Club (314) 277-3930 [email protected] For Immediate Release Chess Champions Crowned at 2019 Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz and Sinquefield Cup Armenian Grandmaster Levon Aronian Claims Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz Title; Chinese Grandmaster Ding Liren wins the Sinquefield Cup SAINT LOUIS (August 29, 2019) – This August, 10 of the world’s best chess grandmasters ​ participated in the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz and 12 of the top chess grandmasters competed in the Sinquefield Cup at the Saint Louis Chess Club. The tournaments, with a total $475,000 prize pool, were fourth and fifth in the seven-event regular season on the Grand Chess Tour. Kicking off on August 10, the Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz tournament featured three days of three-round rapid competition followed by two days of nine-round blitz chess. Running from August 17-29, the Sinquefield Cup expanded to 11 rounds for the first time this year, and featured each of the competitors who ended 2018’s event in a three-way tie: World Champion Magnus Carlsen and Grandmasters Fabiano Caruana and Levon Aronian. Levon Aronian was named this year’s champion of the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz, while Ding Liren emerged victorious at the Sinquefield Cup. Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz Players arrived at the Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz eager to compete as last year’s winner Hikaru Nakamura did not return to defend his title. Armenian GM Levon Aronian started strong and led after the first two days of play, but lost his momentum and ended day three tied with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave at thirteen points each heading into the blitz portion.
