youtube videos are better than books :)
Best books for beginners
Sort:
Hi Lloyd. The best book for you depends on your skill level. Have you ever studied chess before? If not, the first thing you need to study is tactics. I recommend Ward Farnsworth's Predator at the Chessboard, but there are many other books on the subject. I have been studying chess for almost three years and I still need work on my tactics. I would read Farnsworth's 700 pages, then practice tactics on Chess Tempo or a similar site, and play live games at the longest time controls you can find an opponent for.
Hi. I recommend The Mammoth Book of Chess by Graham Burgess. Its a great book that covers alot and it really helps.
Dan Heisman. Read a few of his columns on ChessCafe.com, get a book of tactics problems to go over whenever you have a couple minutes to spare (Dan Heisman recommends a few), and play a lot of slow games. After a few months of that you can think about getting books.
