Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWhen sacrificing material, the player with the lower point value pieces, actually gains attack and tactical possiblities. i.e. The lesser the point value of the attacker, the more devastating the attack. If your queen is attacked by your opponent's queen, you have options. You may move the queen, remove the attacking queen, interpose a piece, or deliver a check to "delay" action. If said queen is attacked by a pawn, one can see that defending is not a viable option. So it is thusly that sacrifices are made and succeed.

An excellent book I'm reading this summer is called Teach Like A Champion, by Doug Lemov. Rather than make up stuff and then claim it will do wonders, he observed excellent teachers, video taped them, and wrote down what they did. Some of his 49 techniques are already a standard part of my school, but the very first one in the book is new to me and yet my favorite so far: No Opt Out. Lots of students will feign ignorance rather than think or answer a question. With No Opt Out, if you call on a student who doesn't have the answer, you call on another student to help them (Where can he find the answer? What should he do first? etc.) or even get the answer from another student. But then you go back to the first student, ask the question again, and he (or she) has to answer. Eventually they get it that participation is mandatory, and participation is the first step to success.

Any of his other techniques you'd care to highlight?
