  <p>I am looking for a clear explanation of chess strategies. <strong>Are there such books that would directly tell about possible strategies of action?</strong> I feel like I don't know exactly what to think about in order to win.</p>

  And I would like to learn something else. I want to know what the strategy might be. For example, how do I know which position is strong and why? What are the signs of strength? What positions should be avoided? What actions should I take to create a weakness in my opponent's position? What to pay attention to?
  
  I am looking for a clear explanation of chess strategies. **Are there such books that would directly tell about possible strategies of action?** I feel like I don't know exactly what to think about in order to win.
