5/ Attacking The Queenside - Shashin
This last book helped me a great deal because I realised after many years playing that I had alternative plan to just attacking the enemy king.Previous to this I would attack the enemy castled king no matter what the demands of the position were, often compromising my own castled king's position. This middlegame theme of attacking the queenside is , I think, quite neglected. Ideas include rook entrance and the minority attack. Something I learnt, and I invite contradiction on this, is that when the kingside and centre are 50/50 for bothsides, whether you have three to two on the queenside, or two to three, a general pawn advance is the way to go.
