Techniques of Positional Play: 45 Practical Methods to Gain the Upper Hand in Chess

By Valeri Bronznik & Anatoli Terekhin. An advanced book. The title says it all.
The techniques are arranged thematically. This is an exceptional resource for the
continuing study of the techniques of positional chess. Work through this after
familiarization with concepts in Pandolfini's "Weapons of Chess", Silman's "The
Amateur's Mind", and Michael Stean's "Simple Chess" (above). See also the similar
"Chess Training for Post-Beginners..." by Yaroslav Srokovski.

The Soviet Chess Primer

By Ilya Maizelis. This was the classic chess training manual-course in the former
Soviet Union. The book is endorsed by three former World Chess Champions - Lasker,
Karpov and Kasparov. Though it begins by treating elementary concepts, the book
quickly becomes challenging for the beginner-novice; it therefore is more suitable
for the experienced, intermediate player and above. The book is structured to take
the student, with diligent study, to expert level and perhaps beyond. If you are
looking for an "advanced" chess course, this would be a good choice. Consider
following this with "Soviet Middlegame Technique" by Peter Romanovsky (below).

Soviet Middlegame Technique

By Peter Romanovsky. The classic text of the middlegame course used in the former
Soviet Union. An advanced book, targeted to the more experienced player, who
possesses a good understanding of positional concepts. This is the most recent
english translation (thanks to the publisher, Quality Chess) of the 1960 edition of
Romanovsky's work. The chess course focuses on the practical application of
positional concepts and techniques, strategy and planning through the use of games
and game fragments of the world's greatest players from the late 19th through the
early 20th centuries. While the games may not be recent, the instructional content
is enduring. See also the classics "The Middlegame" (2 Vols.) by former World
Champion Max Euwe and H. Kramer, and "The Art of the Middle Game" by Paul Keres and
Alexander Kotov (in Descriptive notation).
