I am Joyson from India. Can you suggest me some good books for chess coaches as I am starting a new academy. I am starting training from beginner to advanced level. I would be thankful if someone comes here with an ideal suggestion.

With regards

Coach Heisman's book list is good, although even he admits his list is far far from complete.  The only suggestion I question is MCO.  Paul van der Sterren's FCO is a far better book with excellent explanations of why moves are made.  In this digital age databases are making MCO redundant IMHO.

Hi I am giving free coaching and have my own coaching group called " Improve Your Chess" (IYC) which you can join if you like. The coaching includes analysing games, building up of your own opening repertoire, help to improve your endgame knowledge, help to find plans and get better in the important middlegame and playing games with me( with live comments if you like). The coaching sessions normally take place in live chess, where I am online very often. You can also check out my blogs, where you can learn something about openings endgames and the middlegame. Finding of plans is one of my most important topics.When you have any questions to me then just ask them here :).2 books I can really suggest for players in your rating range are:1. Max Euwe : Amateur Vs Master - A really brillant book which helps you to learn from your mistakes and to avoid blunders.2. Bobby Fischer teaches chess- The perfect book to practise tactics and to get a better understanding of chess in general.Cheers and think about my offer, Till :)
