This lesson uses chess positions. Until you have played a little, its board questions are worked examples to read. New to chess? Play your first moves (five minutes), then learn it from the beginning.
Middlegame plans in chess are practice in moving towards a goal one step at a time. Off the board, the habit grows only if you practise it there too, as this week’s task asks.
