260 pages, paperback, Thinkers Publishing, 1. edition 2018
Ivan Sokolov was one of the most feared attacking players of his time, reaching several times the World top 12 ranking over a 13 years time span. His dynamic style brought hirn numerous tournaments victories including, with a classical time control, wins versus no fewer than six World Champions. During the last couple of years Ivan focused on coaching and writing. On the 'Middlegame' theme Ivan already wrote 3 acclaimed bestsellers being "Winning Chess Middlegames', "Sacrifice and Initiative" and "Chess Middlegame Strategies" Vol. 1 (Thinkers Publishing 2017). In his second volume he explores middlegame strategies and ideas related to prospective opening set-ups.

Matthew Sadler, NIC Magazine 2017.
"But, speaking for myself, I found myself engrossed in the instructive material and learned a great deal from the well-chosen and well presented examples."
