The Art of the Middle Game by Paul Keres and Alexander Kotov is a comprehensive instructional book focused on the principles, structures, and planning techniques of the middlegame.
The book explains how strong players evaluate positions and choose plans based on key factors such as pawn structure, piece activity, king safety, and control of key squares and files.
It covers a wide range of middlegame themes including attacking play, positional maneuvering, prophylaxis, and conversion of small advantages into winning positions.
Keres and Kotov emphasize structured thinking, showing how to analyze positions systematically rather than relying on intuition alone.
Through annotated games and instructive examples, the book demonstrates how plans are formed, adapted, and executed in complex positions.
A classic and highly influential resource for intermediate to advanced players seeking to deepen their understanding of positional play, strategic planning, and practical middlegame decision-making.
