The Middle Game Transition

Submitted by NimrodX on Wed Sep 8, 2010 7:32am.

Right now transitioning from the opening to the middle game seems to be the most difficult thing for me. As my teacher says, this seems to be the point at which you have to come up with a plan and, at the moment, this is very hard for me to do. I... Read more »
