A comprehensive guide to the middlegame, presented as 100 self-contained lessons.

The middlegame is the most challenging phase of the chess game: the players' own ideas and understanding must take over once the opening preparation runs out. John Nunn covers the 100 most important middlegame topics, each in a clear two-page module that opens with a key concept, illustrates it through an instructive game or game fragment, and finishes with carefully chosen exercises. The topics are arranged so that the reader builds up a coherent picture of how to handle every kind of middlegame position: from positional planning and pawn-structure decisions to attacking technique and defensive resources. Dr John Nunn is a grandmaster, four-time Olympiad gold medallist and three-time World Chess Solving Champion. His writing has won 'Book of the Year' awards in several countries.
