Based on a game between 2 players rated FIDE or USCF 2200+ the transition between the opening and the middle game is usually a pawn break(s). Depending on the opening and the defensive system selected there can be between 2 and 5 pawn breaks that the pawn structure demands. The pawn break signals the beginning of the plan of attack. The pawn break is the first move in the plan of attack. There is usually 2 or more plans of attack that the attacker can select from based upon the defensive system selected.
very instructive and enlightening to me. Its abstract knowledge, because I am way to unskilled to use such information. But its interesting to know anyway. thank you. Now I have to go and learn me some chess.


Honestly, you are currently a bit too low rated to understand middlegame concepts. Get to a higher level, and then weèll show you
my rating determines weather i should be able to be shown something? does it matter that much? get out mate
I am saying that it will be too advanced for you. If you do not know the basic principles of chess, there is no way you can understand middlegame concepts
how can you assume that i dont know the basic prinacples? rating means nothing dude. ive been playing for several months now and i already read about the basics of the game
I'm not talking about how the pieces move and stuff like that. I'm talking about stuff like controlling the center and a lack of a king's defense. Do you know any of that?
