So I wanted to talk a little bit more about the middle game at this point because the middle game in chess is very crucial and to be honest it is the part of the game where the match is either won or lost in most cases and especially at higher levels of chess, many games never actually get beyond the middle game, they are decided during that portion of the match. The thing with the middle game is it is difficult to learn because it is purely based on one's creativity, on one's imagination, on one's ability to play strategically well and to play tactfully well, with strong tactics and these are things which are not readily learned. There are things you can do, the best thing you can do is to play a lot. Simply by playing a lot you will eventually come to understand the underlying concepts of the middle game much more clearly and also by doing things like playing masters games backs. We have discussed the notation so hopefully you can start to do that and also doing things like solving chess puzzles. You see these regularly in the paper and they are very good in the underlying principles of middle game play and well worth following.
