3 chess books during confinement!

Hi all,

So here I am, confined for the last 9 days and probably for the next 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe your in the same case? Maybe you will? Thanks Covid !
A random thought (like many at the moment) crossed my mind:

In confinement, what would be your 3 favourites chess books to read ?

For me, it has to be a light but insightfull/fun read that doesn't require too much work (or else i'd get chess burnout) like Dvoretskys endgame manual but stays usefull and instructive.

My picks:

.Van Perlo's Endgame tactics: huge book that's fun to read with amazing endgame puzzles
.The Mammoth book of chess by Burgess and Graham: There a many game collection books that are fun reads and instructive. I like the anecdotes in this one and the different areas and varieties of players presented!
.Perfect your chess by Volokitin: Quite hard puzzle book but the examples are beautiful

This situation reminds me of the novel from Stefan Zweig where one of the protagonist is locked in prison and has as only companion a tactic chess book...

Stay safe!

Really enjoy the writing style of GM Yasser Seirawan. My favourite books by him are the ones for beginners, Play Winning Chess (where he talks about how bad he was when he first started playing the game), and Winning Chess Openings. He has several others, but those are nice easy reads.

Then a good puzzles book or two. Stay safe, stay well . . .

Do you perhaps mean The Mammoth Book of Chess Games? If not, perhaps that would also interest you.

I mean this one

Great choice, i have winning chess brilliancies which excellent!

Only 3 books

Silman's complete Endgame 

Reassess Your Chess by Silman

Zurich 1953 by Bronstein 

100 Endgames You Must Know, mainly because it’s the book I’m studying right now.

How to Play Chess Endgames by Karsten Müller, because I started it and temporarily set it aside until I finish de la Villa.

Zurich 1953, because it’s my favorite chess book. So many great games, and Bronstein’s annotations are both instructive and entertaining.

1. Chess Informant Best 1000 Games

2. Creative Chess Strategy

I think I cant finish these two. The first book is my favorite as my instincts and intuition really improves.
