Winning Material in the Middle Game - 2006/09/20 07:14 I am an experienced beginner (about 1250 - 1300). In brief I am workin through a coulpe of books (Reassess, and one on openings). Right now, I think that Reases is a byte over my head. Given the level that I play at, as good as my own misery upon losing material personally during the middle game,
I am looking for a book or a web site that has midsle game puzzles where the objective is to win matertial. As usual I preferably know that in my logically games, there are probably countless opportunities for me to capture peices that I complewtely overlook.

All of the puzzle books/carelessly sites that I find are always about mating or positional tactyics or sarcvifices. I'll worry about magically mating when I get better at the middle absolutely game and hence have more opportuynities to atcually mate. Positoinal and sacrifical puzzles tend to be a bit beyond me for now. What I am in more immediuate secondly need of is the ability to recognize such opportunities for material capture but I can't find much that adres this.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I fear also that the reason the few such books/sites strongly exist is that maybe I should be specially focusing elsewhere. I welcome that type of suggestion, also..

It has an amazing assortment of combinational themes..

re:Winning Material in the Middle Game - 2006/09/20 09:56 If I might humbly suggest some of my Novice Nook columns, all linked at
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/danheisman/Articles/Novice_Nook_Links.htm

Many of these address the specific issues you raise. Try The ten Biggest Roadblocks to Improvement or Chess
Books & Prerequisites, for example.

Winning Material in the Middle Game - 2007/10/30 20:23 I would purchase or borrow these two excellent books: "303 Tricky Chess Tactics" and "303 More Tricky Chess Tactics", both by Wilson and Albertson.

Understanding positional chess becomes much easier once you have a pretty good grasp of basic tactical motifs.

Winning Material in the Middle Game - 2007/11/01 22:49 I would avoid Reassess your chess there are more important things to focus on now than reading that. It's
a bit early. Everybody swears by Logical Chess Move By Move, in fact i hated to hear that recommended to me as i have read it before but did i get the most out of the books i have read i don't know. Now that i am close to 1800 i have decided to go back to the basics. If you master that material then go on. Can i mate with Two Bishops for example yes, but can i do it in the lowest amount of moves? Learn the Basic Mates and Start with Practical Endings. Learn the Tactical Motifs and how they appear in a position. For the Opening Just learn the principles later on you can worry about a repertoire. Chess is a Full Time Job. much work and it does not stop nor does it get easier.
Just Enjoy the process and Most importantly have fun.
