One of the most important themes of the middle game is maneuvering your pieces. You slowly build-up your advantages, and convert your advantages into a winning endgame. These puzzles will be geared towards your understanding of how to identify key squares and the best route for your pieces to take to get to these squares. 

Puzzle 1.- We will start with something simple

The move order for this puzzle was 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g3 3.Nc3 Bg2 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 Nh6 7. 0-0 e5 8.Be3 Ng4 9.Bg5 Qe8 10. dxe5 dxe5 11.h3 h6 12.hxg4 hxg5 13.Nxg5 Qe7 14.Nh3 c6 15. a3
