Customer Reviews of Chess Middlegame Collection: Encyclopedia of Middlegame 1-4
charles from redford Chess Middlegame Collection: Encyclopedia of Middlegame 1-4 ReviewSorry, but I was expecting something more interactive with instructions and commentaries. Such as why a certain move was made and where it leads to. I found the Chess Master 9000 to be an excellent teaching tool for beginners but I need help on the middlegame. I'm not giving up on it, just need more instructions.
