I bought this collection quite recently after months of searching and getting advice, I put it here in order to save others that time & effort. Insha' Allah I'll write a detailed post about each one of them when I finish reading it.
As for why I don't play here, it's because I think it's better to focus now on learning & playing against computer as a training until I feel that my level is good enough to start.
How are you supposed to improve if you dont play?
More importantly...Why are you playing a computer, but you dont think youre good enough to play people?
Lastly...Youre reccommending books you havent even read.
your comments have been always helpful to me.
You evidently read a lot but don't play. Why is that? One of the things people do is to look at the rating of the person making a recommendation. It helps to judge if the books are suitable for beginners or experts. Your comments on the books, such as which is your favorite or which taught you the most could also be useful.
Not everyone who posts in the forums is active in the various player pools here.
I agree. Being inactive here doesn't mean being inactive in real life.
It doesn't matter for you. You are stuck with the books.
I just meant that since you don't play here at all, no one can use your rating to make a judgment about the appropriateness of the books by measuring their level against yours.
You haven't even read any of the books, so your recommendation carries no value in that way. That is very unusual about your "list of recommended books". Almost all people who make recommendations have actually read some of the books and offer their opinions on them.
The people who might want to consider buying these books will want to make their own judgments. They will consider:
1) You have no rating
2) You haven't read any of the books
and draw their own conclusions.
