Hi Bryan ( Better Chess Training )…, I am going to ask a favor… * One question: #1) "Can you please do a ( How to Use ) instruction video on Fritz 18 ?" I hope so… * I, and many of my Chess friends…, seem to do better with video instructions than reading a 400-page ( Manual ) or book… * I hope that you purchase Fritz 18 and do a ( How to Use ) instruction video on Fritz 18 by Chessbase… Thank you… " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana 🙂
That's a good selection of books. Yasser Seirawan's 'Winning Chess Brilliancies' is, I agree, both well-written and instructive. Irving Chernev is always entertaining. But John Nunn is, for my taste, too dry. And Andrew Soltis book on Magnus Carlsen, though it didn't make it on to your final list, I found both bland and somehow dispiriting. For my money, reading accounts of World Championship matches, particularly those books by the participants, is the most instructive approach of all!
Nicely done. Very nice explanation, wih glimpses of he pages. Thanks for the time. Subscribed.
What game collecting book would you recommended for 1000?
The 'Move by Move' player games series of books by Everyman Chess are well worth looking at.
Annotated games are punctuated with questions, challenging the reader to find the combinations, or why the player didn't play a certain move.
This was wonderful!! More on chess books, please!!
If anyone disagrees with Simple Chess, they're wrong. Absolute gem of a book.
