Trying to find a particular book on middle game

Looking for a chess book that is at least 15 years old, possibly much more. In the book, you are presented with a position from a game between masters. The reader is given a color and then the book presents 3 choices of strategies (e.g. swap bishops and take advantage of your greater space on the queenside) for how to continue. Each strategy (at least to modest player like me) seems to have its merits, but only one is correct. Of course you then turn the page to see what course the master took, and why the alternative strategies were flawed. Anyone know the name of the book or the author?

I don't know what it is, but if you do find out, please send me a PM as I would be most interested. Thanks.

Published in 1995....What's The Best Move by Larry Evans is a possibility maybe

Sounds like Bellin and Ponzetto's "Test Your Positional Play."

I have the book - in storage, and I played through it once - in the '80s. I recall that it was pretty good. If you can find it cheap, I'd recommend it. Unfortunately, I can't remember which games were in it.

a book on pawn structure will guide you through the middle game, the middle game is based on pawn structure so there are certian pawn structures that have certian plans.
