Chess book recommendations?

Anybody have recommendations for books about chess? What's the very best chess book you've read, the one that helped you the most or the one you most enjoyed? I'd ask that people only recommend books they have read themselves, not just something you heard was good. If you can elaborate on why you think it's a good recommendation, that is helpful as well.

I'm enjoying "Logical Chess: Move By Move" by Irving Chernev. I'm very new to the game, and very early in the book, but it was recommended to me countless times by advanced players.

Master your chess with Judit Polgar

Bologans’ Kings indian defense

i reccommend : BOBBY FISCHER my 60 memorable games

this book helped me during my FIDE World Cadet Chess Championship U12 2024 in Montesylbano , ITALIE

"Chess Fundamentals" by José Raúl Capablanca. This will help you a lot! There is a chessable course on it also. https://www.chessable.com/chess-fundamentals-by-jose-raul-capablanca/course/66428/

Boris Gelfand's trilogy, probably

Two chess books I recommend: 'How to reassess your chess' (4th Edition) by International Master Jeremy Silman, and 'Techniques of positional play' by Valeri Bronznik and Anatoli Terekhin

Reading Pawn Structure Chess by Andrew Solis helped me jump from 1400 to 1700 USCF rating. The book is not for beginners but will help those who are far enough along to need help in openings and middle games. It also won’t be much help to system players who play only London , Stonewall or similar one structure openings. There is a similar video series available on Chess.Com in the spirit of that book. https://www.chess.com/article/view/video-series-on-pawn-structure-101

I am currently reading Simple Chess by Michael Stean because I believe my positional chess is not quite up to where it should be yet.

After that, I will read The Art of Attack in Chess by Vladimir Vukovic

International Master Jeremy Silman's book and DVD called, "How to play chess, lessons from and International Master" from "the great courses" has been super helpful.

The one by Jacob Aggard, (no specific title becasue it's a 6 part series). It covers, endgame play, calculation, attacking and defending, positional play and strategic play(each topic is a seperate book)

The Six Power Moves of Chess, by William Karneges. If you don't know them, you really can't play strong chess. (He has a Youtube channel too, if you want to check it out).

-The art of the checkmate by Renaud & kahn. I'd say up to 1200 level. But it depends how you learned chess. I read it when I was 1700 and still learned from it. If you do get it make sure to get the new algebraic version if you can't read descriptive.
-Silman's endgame manual. All levels except GM I guess?

Thanks all for the thoughtful replies and excellent suggestions, I am researching many of these titles now and will procure as many as I can. If anybody else has suggestions, please keep them coming.

Any of Jeremy Silman's books

I agree!
