Silman's Endgame book.

If you're a beginner or close to beginner then that's the book you want. Endgames first teach you how to win a game but they also teach piece coordination and tactics. Once you're familiar with the basic mates and introduced to more complex endgames then get another book.

After endgames I'd recommend a basic opening book. Don't memorize too much. Just compare some of the major openings and choose three or four to learn well enough to get into a decent middlegame. Then get a middlegame tactics book.

I know I made this post on another forum, but you should stay away from general opening books and go for an opening book that describes the OPENING YOU PLAY  IN DETAIL!!! Here's the way I describe it. Is it better, with a gallon of paint, to paint your entire house at once, but not thickly, or a little bit of the house thicker, and then wait for more paint. You should generally ignore these books until you are higher rated. I found thi out by trial & error-  the third book of chess I bought was "Standard Chess Openings" by Eric Schiller. Very good book, but should be saved for later.

My opinion.

I agree with the last reply. I opine to apply CANI ( constant and never ending improvement) on a daily bases, that you can comprehend.Otherwise you will suffer paralysis from analysis. also the 4th edition of HTRYC comes out in february.

Logical Chess by Irving Chernev would be my pick to start with.   Then Jeremy Silman's endgame book.  I need simple and I could understand these books.
