The Art of the Middle Game (Dover Chess)

Yup- as Harry Beltik says to Beth Harmon in the Netflix Queen’s Gambit- “What’s your plan?” She says- to beat you? No- you can’t be an instinctive player, you’ve got to have a plan. Either attack your opponent’s Queen or King side. This book shows many ideas how to do this. Getting better at my openings, but still struggle with planning my mid-game. Play through this book and you’ll definitely get there. Can already see I’m starting to push my millennium electronic chess board with varying strategy.

It's a flippin classic

WELL WRITTEN AND VERY PRACTICAL

An excellent study. Kotov has penned some outstanding guides. Keres adds a second huge chess intellect. Well worth close study

Heavy

Excellent book on how to approach the Middle Game.

new upon receipt

I’m trying to finish reading all the book to see if it was helpful for me or not , but one bad thing about this book in my opinion is that the notation is not algebraic as we know in most of the chess books, it is different and difficult to read.

Solid build, smooth pages, great content. Useful resource to improve on the royal game. Its not even that hard to be used to descriptive annotations, literally took few mins to learn and a bit practise to be smooth with it..

Bastante ilustrativo y con reseñas interesantes de partidas. Lo único malo es que usa una notación antigua. Por ejemplo en lugar de caballo f3 (Nf3) dice CRA3 (caballo-rey-alfil-3) de ahí en más es solo cuestión de acostumbrarse.

I bought this to improve my chess skills.

Le livre semble intéressant, mais la notation russe des coups est trop peu lisible et pratique pour étudier les coups :/

Paul Keres o Pablo II, el Campeón sin corona, todos sus libros son de obligada lectura para los amantes del ajedrez. UN CRACK. Cuatro estrellas por no usar notación algebraica, fallo de la editorial no de Keres ni Kotov.
