Suggest Books that are easy to understand

What are the books I should definitely be owning?

Please I dont want too much variations.I need something that is simple and easy to understand coz I suck at reading notation

Go Dog Go.

Reading both english (EN) and algebraic notation (AN) easily is a must, many older books are in EN and even if they have been "translated" to AN you can often find cheaper older used copies - in EN of course. You won't suck at reading notation with enough practice.

Here's a link to a free (legal) download of Dr Lasker's Common Sense In Chess which would be a good book to start out with http://archive.org/details/commonsenseinche00laskrich

Check out my blog for some other useful recommendations

Simple Chess by Micheal Stean and Winning Chess Strategy by Seirawan

Avoid anything in descriptive notation.  People tend to recommend these old books because they are what they grew up with.  Descriptive notation is dead.   If you want to read the old books, find one that has been translated to algebraic notation.  I have read dozens of books in descriptive notation and I still have difficulty following WTF is going on

I would recommend the 'play winning chess' series by GM Seirawan for an easy to read series.

What is your goal with the books? Enjoyment?

If you want to improve in chess, it won't work for long to stay with things that are simple and involve variations and notation, because chess is complicated and involves calculating variations.

Tarrasch's 'The Game of Chess'

Lasker's 'Manual of Chess'

Reti's 'Masters of the Chessboard'

Nimzovitch 'My System'

Silman's 'Complete Endgame Course'

Virtually any tactics book

"...for chess", I assume.

If you suck at reading notation, practice, and use a chess set (with numbered ranks and files if needed) to go through the lines.

If you just don't like long lines, sorry to say this, but it will not work... You need to dive into long lines to get better. Pure concepts lead nowhere.

Ok should i give Dvoretsky another chance?

coz honestly I think I need a Phd in chess to finish his endgame manual

You do not finish endgame manuals. They finish you.

No, I am serious. As soon as the author says "for advanced players, look at this variation", or everything that is not labelled "impossible to live without", you can drop it for now. If you know basic mates, basic pawn endgames, Philidor and Lucena in rook endgames, queen vs. pawn on the 7th, and general principles of minor pieces endgames (put the pawns on the color of your bishop only if there are opposite-colored bishop and you are defending, etc.), it is probably enough for now.

Dvoretsky writes for the 2300+ crowd.

I wish chess books came with reliable labels stating their target audience (the books a 1600 should read are not the same ones a 2200 should read) but of course that isn't always good for business.

Books by qualitychess are the best. http://www.qualitychess.co.uk/

And a recommendation: the Chess Steps books start at absolute beginner level and step 6 is more or less 2000 level. They are extremely popular in the Netherlands (all club youth players are trained with them) and they're starting to appear more in other countries now. Lots and lots of exercises, heavy focus on tactics and endgames.

winning chess series worth getting all the books will learn a great understanding of the game. thenLOGICAL CHESS MOVE BY MOVE. by irving chernev to me the best book ever good luck.

Definetly the winning chess series by Seirawan is good. In fact there is an IM who claimed that the Winning Chess Strategy book by Seirawan is the only strategy book he owned, and that book took him to IM title.

Dvoretsky's book are for advanced players. If you are searching a book endgame book for your level, then you should take Silman's manual.

A good book is "Undestanding chess move by move", which is for absolutely beginner. There are other book of annotated games, but the aim of this books is to teach, it isn't for experienced players to improve. It's like "Logical chess move by move", but less dogmatic (in logical chess you can find sentences like "mistake, you should develop knights before bishops").

I would agree for middlegame or even opening books, but not for the endgame.

I do not think there are any endgame manuals that assume that such or such endgame is obvious (for instance mating with a rook). So basically, even a beginner can use a "complete" manual provided he knows when to skip parts. Buying another book when you already have such a manual is wasting money, isn't it ?

(this being said without knowing anything about Dvoretsky's endgame book apart what people told me)

Silman in his book recommend Dvoretskij's book, but he says that if for advanced players
