chess book and study chess

I think its good to study to improve.  

 There is a lot of information out there, and I don't think you only need help from one place.  Your going to have to study a lot of material when you get better if you want to improve at a good speed.  Play games with long time controls, and study books.  What books?  That is a good question.  

 You have a list from of book below but I'm not sure if it's helpful to give you 20 books when you have no idea which one is the one you need to read depends your level. 

 If someone mentioned that you don't need a book because you are so low rated, but I don't agree.  If all you do is play chess you are going to improve at a very slow pace, even if you get hammered by someone better than you all the time, as those bashings, as instructive as they may be, won't allow you to improve if that is all you are doing.  

 Another thing is how much money are you willing to spend?  Do you even want to spend money on chess?  There are tons of videos you can look at to help you with your chess on youtube, however, those videos, mostly, are not for beginners.  John Bartholemue makes videos for beginners.  

 How much time did you want to spend studying chess?  That is a question that has to be answered by you at one point or another in your chess career.  I do not know how old are you, but if you are older, a late starter, then you may have a job, and won't have much time after you get off work.  If for some reason you don't have a job then you have time, however, such time could most likely be spent doing something else, as chess isn't ever going to put food on the table for most people.

 The problem is that there are a lot of books that could help you, but, you can only go through 1 at a time.  

 I'd say you should read annotated games from a book like Logical Chess Move by Move.  I say that because those books are going to give you ideas.  Idea's you will eventually use to win chess games.  I personally like Logical Chess Move by Move because it helped me win someone OTB who likes to always stop you from pinning his knight with your bishop by wasting time and playing a flank pawn move.  Though for the beginning part of the game I am talking about it served him well, it eventually led to a disaster.  In principle, it's a bad idea to move flank pawns just to prevent someone from pinning your knight, however, it's not so easy to take advantage of that sometimes...  It's principles that that that you must learn as a newb, and by reading through Logical Chess you will learn even more stuff like that.  

Your also going to need theory, for that, as I suggested you can go through the beginner study plan, if you pay for a diamond membership.  There you will find the key topics of chess, and you can learn them in any order you choose.

 There are alternatives, however the books are starting to pile up already....!!!  Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is a good beginner book, but, even that may be too advanced for you, but then again it may be the thing you need to improve.  Before you start buying books I urge you to do your research, and make your own decision.  It's not going to be easy either.  Getting books and putting them on the shelf is not going to help you.  You also have to study them correctly.  I like the study plans because it covers all phases of the game.  

 In my opinion tactics trainer is too much for you.  Why do I say this?  Too many times I hear about people that take forever to solve a puzzle, and if they get it right, they only get one point, but if they get it wrong, bam, minus 12 points!  If you are not fast at coming up with the right answer like I know for a fact a lot of people aren't, then, tactics trainer at least on this site is not best suited for you as a beginner who has not already learned the patterns.  For people that say that everyone starts off the same they are slow at first and get faster as they learn more and more patterns I'd say this, have fun in your fairy tale dream world, end of discussion.

 The point, is some people are fast, some people are slow.  I don't know which one are you, but if you are slow, tactics trainer is not ideal for you, unless you just go unrated, which is helpful still.  For now stay away from chesstempo tactics trainer, as those tactics are probably too advanced for you, even the easy ones.  

 For those of you who think I am saying some people that play chess are stupid and some are not you misinterpreted what I was saying.  Just because someone makes chess moves slowly doesn't necessary mean they are "thinking slowly."  Therefore, this has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, and more to do with 1 learned patterns already known, but in the beginning more about how the person thinks.  Does he take forever to think about a simple trade?  That is a bad thinking algorithm or bad time hog to have that a lot of people do have when they are starting out.  Some people just like to work out everything in their head, or can't do it all in their head but they sit there and keep trying until they realize they can't and just make a bad move.  This is my theory that I observed watching numerous people play chess.  I hope it helps.  Even if you don't fully agree with me you can agree at least in part somewhat...?  Maybe...  Oh well, I spent too much time on this!

 There is a free app, called chess tactics, where you can solve a number of beginner tactics.  You'd have to pay a modest amount to solve more.  I'd say solve them all once and keep solving them until you can do them in your sleep.  Start with the free one and do that.  

 Do puzzle rush whenever you have extra time to goof off.  I wouldn't do it too much.  

 If you are serious about improving, and are going to spend a lot of time on chess, then A Guide to Chess Improvement is probably a book that you will eventually need.  You may not need it now, but get that later on when you've improved 100-200 rating points.  I'm thinking back to that book now and remember that some of that stuff that is in that book is deep, maybe you don't even need it.  I don't know.  However, that book gives you a good picture of what you have to do to improve, and also gives a lot of theory that could come in handy.  A lot of the stuff was straightforward for me, but it may not be for you.

 There is a mate in 3 that I know if I showed you, you would probably not get even if I gave you all day to solve it.  Actually I take that back.  You might be able to solve it, given enough time, however, chances are you won't, not in a million years, without help.  Sometimes the problem is just that one must learn the patterns first, then solve the puzzles after the pattern has already been learned, in a somewhat, different instance.  The object in the beginning is the familiarize yourself with tactics, and other patterns.  9 times out of 10 chess is about patterns that already have been learned.  Do as many tactics as possible.  I'd say at least an hour of tactics a day, at least that is what was told by someone who is very high rated.  She actually told me either 30 minutes to an hour, take your pick, whichever one suits you better.  If I where you I'd look at Dan Heismans website and pick a good tactics book from it.  If you have enough time to learn, I'd say get Baines, and also later on when you are finished with Baines get Back to Basics.  Your going to have to make flash cards of all that crap.  Yes, both books.  

 I'm not entirely sure if all this is suitable for your level, if you are very low rated.   Oh well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.  

 just listen to this: "Chess is hard, and it's going to take a lot of effort to get better, and you may have to spend a lot of money to improve, and your money will be forever lost, because you will probably never make anything playing chess.  Also, you may have to study a lot of different things, just do them one at a time."

what is best?

 Play as many games as possible, and study as much as you can.  Use your time wisely.  Remember tactics tactics tactics.  Don't forget to learn the endgame!

"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

"... If it’s instruction, you look for an author that addresses players at your level (buying something that’s too advanced won’t help you at all). This means that a classic book that is revered by many people might not be useful for you. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (2015)
