In this slender volume, Averbakh, a renowned Russian GM and famed coach, surveys middlegame knowledge from a tactical perspective. The chapters cover such things as pins, forks, double attacks, etc. and provide definitions as well as examples. Averbakh does not discuss strategy except in the sense of aiming for pins, forks and double attacks and positional topics like weak squares, outposts and pawn structures are not on the menu.
