Monster your Middlegame Planning: Volume 1

Overview

Correct evaluation of a position, a strong plan and accurate execution are the three important factors that separate ‘the expert from the amateur’. Efficient training on the three above-mentioned concepts can help a chess player mature and lead him to new successful paths.

This book has a unique concept of teaching chess middlegame strategies. You will need to solve practical exercises throughout the entire book in a testing format.

Each theme is analyzed with modern concepts and tips, which will drive the reader down the right path. The author sought to provide a training guide that will be helpful mostly to players in the 1500–2200 ELo range — corresponding to a lower club level up to those with aspirations for a FIDE title.
