Winning Chess Middlegames: Volume 1 is an essential guide to 1.d4 pawn structures from grandmaster and top coach Ivan Sokolov.
This updated classic features more than half of the games replaced by modern examples and focuses on the four main pawn-structure types: doubled pawns, isolated pawns, hanging pawns, and pawn majorities. It helps readers understand space, tension, initiative, and the middlegame plans that follow from them.
Club players can use this book to improve middlegame skill, develop a clearer sense of which positions suit their style, and build new strategic and practical opening knowledge. Sokolov explains the material profoundly, honestly, and objectively, with plenty of inside stories from top-level chess.
