How many chess players really know what to do in the end game? More is demanded in this stage of the game than in any other, and the knowledge ad imagination that saw you through the opening and middle game are just not enough to carry you through the end game also.
With this book, all one needs to know are the fundamental rules of chess and ordinary chess notation in order to gain a thorough understanding of the all-important opening game in its many variations.
Every player knows that the middle game is the least understood part of chess. Unlike the specific moves and responses of the opening, or the end game's indicated strategies for given pieces, the middle game takes the player into unchartered waters and tests his/her abilities to the utmost.
In thiw wonderfully lucid book, one of the outstanding chess expositors of the century presents the basis of chess analysis in such a disarmingly simple way that even the most casual player will be able to improve his game immensely.
