This Creative Thinking Development, 2nd edition is a chess book by Mark Dworecki and Artur Jusupow that explores the middlegame, where many games are decided. Rather than stopping at position analysis, it focuses on how to think at the board: how to evaluate, choose a plan and make practical decisions under pressure.
What this book covers
This title is for players who want to understand not just the moves, but the logic behind middlegame play. It treats the middlegame as an area that demands both knowledge and flexibility, and it brings together chess and psychology to encourage more conscious decision-making in different types of positions.
The book covers the key elements of middlegame play, including calculation, chess intuition, rational thinking, attack, defence and game analysis. Each topic is presented with a practical focus, so the ideas can be applied directly at the board.
What you’ll find inside
The book has 232 pages and comes in softcover. It also includes tests to help you check your understanding and put the material into practice. At the end, there is a chapter titled “Creative Achievements of the School’s Students”, featuring games analysed together by young players and grandmaster Artur Jusupow.
It is a strong choice for players who want to deepen their understanding of the middlegame and develop a more thoughtful approach to their own games. It works well for self-study and for structured middlegame training.
