| - The middlegame in chess refers to the part of a game after the opening struggle, and before the beginning of the endgame. In this phase of the game, both players attempt to strengthen their positions while weakening their opponent's, with a combination of planned attacks aimed at the king and by wittling down the opponent's resources. It's usually a fight over a pawn or a square, perhaps an open file. The line between where the middlegame ends and the endgame begins is difficult to define, as both parts usually blend into each other.
- The middlegame is perhaps the least defined and least well-understood part of FoldIt. Members of Another Hour Another Point tend to describe the middlegame as being all those actions you take after you've stopped looking back on the original configuration of a puzzle, but before you have begun making the minor, largely invisible adjustments found in the endgame.

Nudge plays a prominent role in the middlegame, as does Rebuild. Beyond that, look for Hydrophobicity, Compactness, and Aesthetics. Ask yourself continually if a protein "looks" right. And if it doesn't, consider making changes. The middlegame is a time for bold strategic decisions.
- The middlegame in chess refers to the part of a game after the opening struggle, and before the beginning of the endgame. In this phase of the game, both players attempt to strengthen their positions while weakening their opponent's, with a combination of planned attacks aimed at the king and by wittling down the opponent's resources. It's usually a fight over a pawn or a square, perhaps an open file. The line between where the middlegame ends and the endgame begins is difficult to define, as both parts usually blend into each other. Typical moves that players will employ during the middlegame include forks, pinning, skewers, and discovered attacks. Trades are also common as players exchange their own pieces for their opponent's (usually of equal or better value). An important part of the middlegame is the preparation of one's pieces for the endgame, even if it involves moving a piece where it is not necessarily useful. At this stage, having a plan is important. A plan is strategy for winning the game. Let's say you've developed, have your pieces ready, the question you ask is assuming your opponent won't fall for any silly mistakes, what are you going to do to win? You have to analyse your and the opponent's position and calculate what is the best way of action.
