Product Description
Product Description
These three books are ideal for keen club players who want to improve and are seeking to better their understanding of the three key stages of a chess game: the opening, when the battle lines are drawn; the middlegame, when the armies commence hand to hand combat; and the endgame, when theoretical knowledge can make the difference between winning and losing. All three books are written in a user-friendly style with plenty of notes, tips, and warnings to illustrate key points. The authors are experienced at writing for players on all levels and are noted for their ability to explain ideas in a clear and straightforward fashion. These books are particularly useful for those players who honed their skills with the earlier books Improve Your Opening Play, Improve Your Middlegame Play and Improve Your Endgame Play:
-- A revolutionary layout that helps readers absorb the key ideas
-- Emphasis placed on the application of simple principles
-- Numerous exercises enable readers to gauge their progress

Brutal tactics, 6 Aug 2009
By Chess reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mastering the Midgame (Everyman Chess) (Paperback)
Mastering the Middlegame is a debatable title for this work. Attacking the King, the first chapter, could be the title of the entire book. With beautiful sacrifices that are surprisingly likely to occur in a practical game, Dunnington gives us ways to determine if they are correct based on the ideas rather than variations (for instance, exploiting the diagonal). However he goes a little overboard. There are sacrifices in 2/3 games in this book, and while he has a chapter called 'Defending-Keep Calm' it is really showing counterattacks. Though it is deceptive in the title, this is a great addition to any collection.
