A fianchetto v a fianchetto is often called boring because it's
not a 1.e4 e5 opening. The 100's of short games I've played over with
these produce some of the best lessons I've ever seen.
Rooks on h1 and h8 are hanging the moment g2 or g7 is played.

I wasn't able to find the tactics book on my google search, all I got was a Strategy book. Are they one in the same?
Reinfeld's book was first published as The Complete Books of Chess Stratagems, not Strategy. Perhaps The Second Evil Empire is getting it confused with that? I can certainly find that title on the web. Do note that both titles are long out of print, and you'll have to get them second-hand. But they were popular, so that shouldn't be too hard.

Originally posted by greenpawn34I only know of 1 book full of middlegame motifs,7 ways to smash the sicilian.A book full of piece sacs.Fun stuff.
The good ones cover all the tactical themes (and just the tactical themes)
related to that opening.
Infact they are laid put in order of opening.
Could you give some titles of those good trap books(with middlegame motifs) you mention.

Hi Torten.
I've just deleted the post I had written (and saved it).
I've come across something very instructive and good so I'll blog it.
I can use pics. and other gimmicks....looking forward to doing it and finding
more examples.
(found a trick that has caught 32 good players OTB and yet when
the exact same postion was reached on here 34 out of 35 players missed it
and the one player who stumpled upon it failed to see the idea and lost.)
Cheers. Hopefully have your answer by Sunday night.
