Hi guys, I picked up the following title I am hoping to work through over the next couple of weeks. I am a novice player and would love to know if anyone else (low rated) has access to this book and would like to study it alongside me?

I think that working together through a book is a great idea. Working through a chess book alone can be tedious. I am currently USCF rated 1060 as of my last tournament game in 2014. My highest USCF rating was 1437 in 2003. I would guess my current strength to be in the USCF 1100 to 1300 range. I would be interested in working through a book with another low rated player, but I would prefer a different book. Is anyone interested in working through a different book together? Any book suggestions and how we would do it?

I don't know, I will think about it. It would help my discipline if I was studying w/someone. I am not sure how we would do it. I will post some book ideas this week.

I don't understand the "ur gay" comment. Please explain. Do you mean it's a dumb idea?

I am sorry I asked anything in the first place. Do you own any books Anthony? Have you had a chance to look at something you would like to work through?

I was thinking of something by Silman, e.g., How to Reassess Your Chess: Chess Mastery Through Chess Imbalances.

Or maybe My System by Nimzowitsch:

Or one of the Kasparov books in the My Predecessors series:

Or Tal: Life & Games of Mikhail Tal. Or Alekhein’s Games: My Best Games of Chess, 1908-1937, 21st Century Edition. NB: there is also a lower priced version in descriptive notation. I find algebraic easier.

That’s just a few suggestions. I am open to ideas. I had URL’s from amazon.com for each book, but chess.com deleted them when I tried to post. Ray
