Middlegame Strategy Essentials

How to find a plan when there is no tactic · by Kapilash Chess Academy

How strong players make plans: good and bad pieces, weak squares and outposts, open files, bishops against knights, the isolated queen's pawn, hanging pawns, the minority attack, pawn breaks, prophylaxis, exchanges and weaknesses. Every position comes from a real opening, and every line and exercise has been checked with a chess engine.
