Middlegame without queens

Middlegames are often messy and complex, with most (if not all) of the major and minor pieces still on the board, they don’t lend themselves to rigorous study or memorizable positions as with openings or endgames. The nature of the middle game will follow naturally from each player’s opening strategy. This makes it hard to speak in general terms about middle game strategy or middle game principles.

There are important differences between the strategy with and without queens, mostly without queens, it is much more difficult to checkmate, so the player should focus more on the pawn structure and bad pawns and how to promote passed pawns.
