Mastering The Middlegame

by Angus Dunnington
144 pages
Everyman Chess 2001


Reviewed by John Donaldson

 

Mastering the Middlegame by IM Angus Dunnington is divided into five major chapters: Attacking the King, Defending-Keep Calm!, Opening Lines, Using the Pieces, and Using the Pawns. Each chapter features annotated model games and fragments to illustrate the points that Dunnington wishes to make. There are 62 of these annotated games and fragments in all, and the examples are quite fresh. Unlike many middle game treatises, the examples are not the old classical ones that have been trotted out many times before. In fact, they all appear to be from the 1990s.

This book features a very nice layout that is easy to read. To reinforce the readers comprehension of the material, key ideas are highlighted. Students are also given exercises at the end of each chapter.
