Middle-Game Tactics: 1500 Combinations by Martin Surman is a chess tactics book designed for focused middlegame training, with 1,500 exercises arranged across 15 tactical themes and four difficulty levels.
What’s inside
The exercises are organised to keep training clear and progressive, moving from simpler positions to more demanding ones. That structure helps you work on specific tactical patterns instead of solving random puzzles.
Each exercise has one correct winning solution, which makes the book especially useful for practising accurate calculation and checking your decisions without ambiguity.
Why it’s useful
The middlegame is where tactical chances and decisive mistakes most often appear. Regular work with this book can help you spot threats faster, calculate more precisely and reinforce common combination patterns. With its range of difficulty levels, it suits both self-study and work with a coach or in chess lessons.
This is a practical choice for players who want to develop middlegame tactics in a structured way, with exercises that stay close to real game positions.
