Complete Chess Strategy: First Principles of the Middle Game

The First volume of Ludek Pachman's great trilogy, which first appeared in Czechoslovak and German. Planning the pieces deals with the long term planning handling and positioning of the individual chess pieces. Good books on the indeterminate stage of chess between openings and endings are rare. Ambitious players wanting a practical guide to the middle game will find that Ludek Pachman's great trilogy, stands in a class of its own. In each of these books the need for understanding is there are too many variations for any memory to store. The player must understand the basic principles involved and the typical positions or maneuvers that can arise. Ludek Pachman's examples will augment his experience and should facilitate finer judgments as to the types of position to aim for, how to plan for them and in the allocation of priorities. But games also need to be viewed as an entity, and for this reason the author has concentrated on teaching by means of whole games.
