The art of the Middle-Game
about 20 years ago I read Znosko-Borovsky's middle game book and loved it. It made a huge improvment in my playing at the time. I also liked How Not to Play Chess by him, but have read that second, I feel like that one (How Not ...) should be first if one were to read the 2.
I need to go back and re-read them, but I'm working through his combinations book now.
My two favorites have long been:
Pawn Structure Chess--Andrew Soltis
Modern Chess Strategy--Ludek Pachman
Recently got the Pachman book... I love it so much I can put up with the descriptive notation.
Hi i have this book of keres but not getting move notation like K4 Q3 throughout the book . Please help
Art of middle game is a good book. It gives you in-depth of analysis of selected games. It will help you improve your middle game. I also read this book. It helps me apply those concepts in real games. For getting tactically better in attacking chess, use Master of attack-Alexander Alekhine along with art of middle game if you want to think like Alekhine.
