Source & Proof
How to Reassess Your Chess80% Confidence
“Thanks. Silman is phenomenal. In my opinion, his book "How to Reassess Your Chess" may be the best chess book ever written.”
Power Chess for Kids80% Confidence
“J15 Many books "for kids" aren't really for kids at all can't tell a book by it's title. All of Coakley's books are excellent for Adult,s too & Hertan named the tactical device "sneaky pin" via his excellent (for everyone) book Power Chess For Kids #Chess”
Winning Chess Strategy for Kids80% Confidence
“Yes, all of Jeff Coakley's books are excellent (and not just for kids). This book, Winning Chess Exercises for Kids is, IMHO, the best intermediate tactics puzzle book. (Just look at his comprehensive answers!) #chess”
Practical Chess Exercises80% Confidence
“It's sort of like when Ray Cheng wrote his excellent book Practical Chess Exercises to fill a needed void. #Chess #chesspunks”
Pawn Power in Chess (Dover Chess)80% Confidence
“I wasn't sure if you were asking Dan L or me or both. No one book helped me the most, but some of my early helpful books were MCO10, Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played, Pawn Power in Chess, Alekhine's Best Games, How to Win in the Middlegame, The Art of Attack... #Chess”
Chess Exam And Training Guide80% Confidence
“J29 As an actuary, IM Igor Khmelnitsky knows statistics. So he shows stats about how each level of solver did on each problem in his book Chess Exam and Training Guide. These stats clearly show what level understands the needs/issues of each problem. Recommended for 1500+ #Chess”
TalBotvinnik 196080% Confidence
“That was the book that convinced me how important both time management and timestamping was. After I read that book I timestamped all my moves/games. #Chess #chesspunks”
The Improving Chess Thinker80% Confidence
“Someone just commented about a book on thought process & my main book is The Improving Chess Thinker (2nd Ed) Besides general info on thought process, it gives sample "thought protocols" for players of every class 8002500 #Chess #chesspunks #chessies”
Applying Logic in Chess80% Confidence
“I have added Kislic's Applying Logic in Chess to my Recommended Book page Don't be fooled by the title; it's actually a coach's "soup to nuts" recommendations/opinions for how talented players can progress to a very strong level. Comprehensive. #Chess”
