Hi all,
I have an opening book which I am happy with, I also have Jeremy Silman's excellent end game book, but I don't have a book on the middle game, so I was hoping for some suggestions please?
Thanks,
Jamie.

Simple Chess by Michael Stean is an excellent place to start.

Try Silman's How to Reassess Your Chess (although the *completely revised and updated* 4th edition is due out later this summer, so you might want to hold off.)
