If your asking for chess material to improve your strategical chess, some of my favourite chess books are
Janos Flesch - Planning in Chess
Silman Jeremy - The Amateurs Mind
My System - Nimzowitsch
There are a lot of other chess books on strategy, but most of them focus on opening pawn structures and the middle game plan for them.
Common names to be heard in the middle game are
IQP (Isolated Queen pawn)
Minority attack
'putting your piecies in good squares' and 'making them active' are both positional concepts.
'create discover attacks, threats' are part of tactics.
Seeing many more moves isn't exactly strategical chess, creating a idea that the position calls for is and understanding what the position calls for is.
Hey guys,
as long as i play chess i figure out that in order to beat higher rated players you have to improve your strategic vision (putting your piecies in good squares, making them active, create discover attacks, threats ecc.). It's not only the tactical ability that matters (which is of course very important). You have to "see" things many moves before they happen and try always to improve your position. So how can somebody improve his strategical vision? Something that tactics cannot teach... What do you guys think?
Thank you for your time
