-------------------------------------------------------
I have to disagree!! Here are just a few simple rules for "intelligent players"
BASIC MIDDLE GAME RULES:
Rule #1: Don't move your King toward the center of the board while major pieces
are still on the board!
Rule #2: Don't allow pawn islands!
Rule #3: Don't allow backward pawns on open files!
Rule #4: Don't lock up your pawns on the squares of the color of your Bishop
when you have only one Bishop!
Rule #5: If you have an isolated pawn on an open file, then try to avoid
piece exchanges and if you are on the opposite side, then try to
exchange pieces off the board at the appropriate moment!
Rule #6: If you have an isolated pawn on an open file, you should try to
advance it to exchance it off at the proper moment and do so before
you reach into the endgame!
Rule #7: When playing against the side with a isolated pawn on an open file,
you should block the isolated pawn with a minor piece. A Knight
does this job the best! The purpose is to prevent the isolated pawn
from advancing forward!
(These are just some of the basic rules to achieve in "Middle Game" play)
Regards,
Terry
