Urseanu Veniamin. Strategia jocului de mijloc în șah

Bucharest: Editura Sport-Turism, 1985. — 288 p.Starting from the principle enunciated by the famous French chess player and theorist, Andre Philidor, namely that "the pawn is the soul of the chess game", and adopting it in the strategic context of forming and maneuvering pawn chains, the author develops with great competence and depth a whole theory whose remarkable logic leads to the formulation and argumentation of the notion of plan in chess.
The particular cases of game plans determined by various types of pawn chains are exemplified on the basis of classic or contemporary games, particularly suggestively chosen.
