Hi Guys,

I have been able to play chess since i was young but never really worked at it, i guess i was always around 1200 or so give or take, lately i have working on improvement using my new premium membership here and a few other resources, i have definately seen my game improve, my current rating is 1570+ however i believe it to be more of a 1300-1400 as i had two resignations in a tournament, but i have had some decent checkmates in it also including a #14 against a 1400+ player so i am definately improving.

What i want to know after all that preamble waffle is if you could choose 5 Chess books at my current level to help improve my game, like i said i have the resources here which i am using daily but i enjoy a good book so if you could choose 5 which would they be so i can collate a list and get on amazon.

Cheers in advance (i am sure something similar has been asked before so my apologies)

Edit: how do i change the title i meant 5 books not 10 sorry.

Silman end game course and reassess your chess are two great books. Just do lots of puzzles as well.

Endgame:Silman's Complete Endgame Course by Jeremy Silman

Strategy:How To Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman

Openings:Winning Chess Openings by Yasser Seirawan

Tactics: Tactics trainer should be enough. 

Overall book: Logical Chess Move by Move by Irving Chernev (Game annotations)

Nice one, thank you.

Pick one stick with it until you are finished with it and then think about buying another 1 or 2.
