 Thanks zen monk, what would really be helpful would actually be two things.  Firstly and thsi question has been asked a million times, what would be the best way to improv emy middle game.  I am actually going a bit mad reading books.  Silamn etc and would be keen to know if their is anything oin chess.com, a particular mentor course or video series?

and secondonly.. what are you actually thnking about when you play? maybe an unsrated game where you could explain what you are thing and seeing? i know these are big asks but even the smallest pearl of wisdom would be helpfull.

Regards
