Code:  2466-SP- Soviet Middlegame Technique (Romanovsky)

Many of the classics of Soviet chess literature have struggled to see the light of day, but none more so than Soviet Middlegame Technique by Peter Romanovsky. The original version of this famous guide to the middlegame was published in 1929 when Romanovsky was Soviet Champion. Romanovsky later decided to update and improve his work. As he finished his work in 1942, World War II was underway and Romanovsky was trapped in the notorious siege of Leningrad. The author barely survived and his manuscript was lost.

This is a very thorough book on the middle game. It is a classic, which is why I bought it even though I had not known anything specific about it beforehand. The middle game is not as easy to classify as the openings or various endgames are, and there is and always will be, in my opinion, a lot of art and judgment in the middle game. This book does an excellent job of explaining the important aspects and a lot of subtleties too. It is a top shelf book to have in your library.
