Looking for the best chess books to improve your middlegame? This legendary classic by Golombek, Kotov, and Keres covers everything from planning and king attacks to pawn structures, defence, and advanced analysis – timeless lessons for players from club level to master.

Golombek introduces the art of middlegame planning, Kotov explains attacking strategies and the five essential pawn structures (closed, open, mobile, fixed, dynamic), and Keres takes you deeper with challenging chapters on defence and analysing adjourned games.

IM Thomas Engqvist shares how this book shaped his own chess journey – at first too advanced as a beginner, but later an invaluable resource for higher levels. If you want to understand middlegame strategy and sharpen your skills, this is a must-read!
