Name 3 Memorable Chessbooks in your Life.

     My 3 memorable Chessbooks in my life:

1)Winning Chess Openings by Fred Reinfeld

2) Think like a Grandmaster by Alexander Kotov

3) Chessmaster...at any age by Rolf Wetzell

I've had lots of books in my chess career. I still have quite a few even though I lost probably half of it through the years. There is only one that I could say is really very memorable. It is my very first chess book... that funny looking, three-inch book by Bobby. I think it is titled "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess"

Now that I think about it, another memorable one is the Informant where I had my very first game with analysis was published. I forgot what volume # it is, though.

Oh, I have a third one. The "300 Award winning puzzles"... it is memorable because I've been looking for it for a while now so I can put the puzzles at Iskuba Spacebook but I can't find it!!!

I think I have 4 but the first 3 influenced me the most.

My three most memorable and very infuential chessbooks:

1. Chess Fundamentals (my 1st ever chessbook bought for me by my dad) - J.R. Capablanca

2. My System (I never understood the soul of chess until this!) - Aaron Nimzowitsch

3. My Great Predecessors on my idol Anatoly Karpov - Garry Kasparov

Honorable mention:

ABC's of Chess by Bruce Pandolfini

Taught me the basic principles of chess and even got me the high school championship in school when no other books were nowhere to be found. hehe

I wish I could secure my hands on that awesome endgame book by Silman. :)

I have How to Win Chessgames Quickly by Fred Reinfield. It is the  book that teaches me the bad way to learn how to win a game. The second one is The Games of R. J. Fischer. and last one is the odd small book Bobby Fischer Teaches chess.

awesome book indeed. sobrang mahal mg a chessbooks ngayon!

3. The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal

My first chess book and my favorite is How to Win Quickly at Chess by, I think, Fred Reinfield. It's an ultimate beginner's book and I simply memorized some of its contents to beat the tambays in our village. Then at college I bought books with titles like Middlegame in Chess (I forgot the author but I think it's an excellent book as it taught me how to attack) and Endgame in Chess (which also gave me some endgame knowledge).
