Winning Chess Middlegames addresses the often ignored but extremely important topic of pawn structures, divided into 4 main types: doubled pawns, isolated pawns, hanging pawns and pawn majorities.

Club players studying Winning Chess Middlegames will:
- greatly enhance their middlegame skills
- develop an accurate feeling as to which particular positions suit their style
- acquire new strategic and practical opening knowledge
Winning Chess Middlegames – Volume 1
The original of this book that I wrote almost twenty years ago was well received. An update was logical – and it was also needed, because due to technological developments,
many analyses needed to be corrected. Also, many new games have been played and interesting ideas have been found. Probably due to the influence of computer programs,
chess has become more direct and more dynamic in my opinion. More than 50% of the material in this updated version is new, and a lot of this new material is highly dynamic.
Some of the old variations, like the Sämisch NimzoIndian (featured a lot in this book), are experiencing a second youth.
Ivan Sokolov
Ivan Sokolov explains matters profoundly, honestly and objectively, and includes lots of inside stories from top-level chess, neither sparing his collegue grandmasters nor himself in his comments.
