Can I have Chess thinking by bruce pandolfini
THE BOOkS ARE GONE! ! !
Can I get one
Did you not read the thread? It’s three years old and even then it was a list of books he’d already given away.
It's a joke m8.
Fair enough then, but resurrecting a long-dead thread for a weak joke seems pretty pointless to me. Each to their own.

stop being a mentally unstable sissy and not use forums than if you're too weak a man to all of a sudden start raging because of the timestamp of the post. what you think you're so noble and special or something?
Raging? Ok, I didn't get his joke, but I was hardly raging. Calling someone "a mentally unstable sissy" seems more like raging to me. Oh, you got me! It was just a joke, right?
Thanks for the comments
that is quite the list from 2012

Most are written in old descriptive mode . . . .
DENVER
Most books are available on thrifty.com at reasonable prices . . .
These books are very old but a few of them can still be useful specially Soltis ones.
Tis is a suggested list of books that everyone should know!
Here are the top 10 classic chess books that every fan should know.
- Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by Bobby Fischer
- How to Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman
- My System by Aron Nimzowitsch
- Zurich International Chess Tournament, 1953 by David Bronstein
- My 60 Memorable Games by Bobby Fischer
- Think Like a Grandmaster by Alexander Kotov
- Silman's Complete Endgame Course: From Beginner to Master by Jeremy Silman
- The Life and Games of Mikhail Tal by Mikhail Tal
- Karpov's Strategic Wins (two volumes) by Tibor Karolyi
- My Great Predecessors (five volumes) by Garry Kasparov
This is the list of FREE books that I shipped to a Chess.com member who offered to pay the freight to his home.
The U.S. Post office worker said, "The price is $106.00, with delivery in four days."
I said, "It's just used books."
"Are you puttiing any packing material in it? Like wad's of newspaper or styrofoam little balls?"
"It's only used books. They can't break."
"The best way is, buy our largest box for $7.00. Put all the books in it and cut the box down so the books just fit in it. Then without any packing material in it, it will cost you $27.00 for the 61 pounds, shipped from Northern California to Farwell, Michigan."
There are duplicate books of some of them. My comments are in red or blue. They are in descriptive form, that is hard to read by some people, and some in Algebraic form.
The collection started in the 1960's. I kept about ten books that are my favorites and I refef to them once in a while.
They aren't available from me anymore.
I tried to put them in Alphabetical order.
If you see any that you are familiar with. Leave a comment and maybe it will help other Chess players to evaluate a book. They are sometimes available on Amazon or E-bay.
