A "chess book" generally refers to a published work focused on the game of chess, covering a wide array of topics. Chess books can be instructional, theoretical, or historical in nature, and they are valuable resources for players of all levels. Here are some common types of chess books:

Instructional Books: These books are designed to teach chess fundamentals, strategies, and tactics. They may cater to beginners or intermediate players and often include explanations of openings, endgames, and tactics.
Opening Books: These focus specifically on chess openings, providing analyses and variations for different play styles. They help players prepare to start the game with a solid foundation.
Endgame Books: These concentrate on the finer points of chess endgames, teaching players how to convert advantages into wins or how to hold draws in difficult positions.
Game Collections: Many books compile famous games played by grandmasters or historical figures, providing annotations and insights into the strategies employed in those games.
Chess Theory: These books delve into advanced concepts, including strategic ideas, positional play, and modern chess theory, often aimed at more experienced players.
Biographies and Historical Books: These explore the lives of famous chess players, their contributions to the game, and the history of chess itself.
Puzzle and Tactic Books: These feature chess puzzles and tactical exercises designed to improve players’ problem-solving skills and tactical awareness.
Chess Novels: Some books use chess as a central theme in fictional stories, blending the game with narrative elements.
Whether you’re looking to improve your skills, learn about specific strategies, or enjoy the history and culture of chess, there’s likely a chess book that caters to your interests. If you're looking for recommendations for specific titles or genres, let me know!

Also, don't get confused with the "Chessbook" app in Google Play in Android and App Store in iOS. That is just an app that is used to learn more about chess tactics just like in chess.com or lichess. You can check out the website for the chessbook app here.
