The weapons of chess book has strategy and tactics in it. It is was my most helpful book and a book I could read without a chess board at 1400 rating. Yasser Sierwans strategy book is a good complement to this book and attacking chess by josh waitzkin is a difficult read but for a 1500/ 1700 player it could be digestible.

Books were great before the internet, but tbh they not really needed now. Tactics training, watching the chess shows, playing through the explorer openings, watching a few videos etc combined with lots of playing all time better spent than reading

Yeah watching a 12 minute video when the amount of actual content I could read in 1.2 minutes, great value for time. Also, are you aware that it is possible to set up a board - an actual real-life 3D Chess Board (they have these, believe it or not, there is more to chess than just an APP) - and play out the positions and problems set out in a book?
Why would I want to set problems on a board? I can do the chess.com tactical puzzles much faster without setting up, and the timer adds a sense of realism. Pattern recognition far faster.
It like how poker players became much better after online as they were seeing many more hands per hour than plying in person.

I would rather talk about how you managed so many wins against Komodo in bullet, most only about 10 moves, how did you make it lose on time? You clearly dodgy and not a real player

Modern societies are going digital and books are undervalued. I think teaching both digital and manuscript literacy is important so both survive and to dig up valuable information from other generations. Also kinisthetic and visual players will learn better on YouTube and other visual sites than literal learners.

Pattern recognition developed on a computer works just as well OTB. You're developing the board you see in your head, not the physical pieces. Facepalm.
... Also invest in playing guided games the upper players are promoting. It’s free coaching that will answer and guide your questions and embolden your chess progress.
"... A typical way of choosing an opening repertoire is to copy the openings used by a player one admires. ... However, what is good at world-championship level is not always the best choice at lower levels of play, and it is often a good idea to choose a 'model' who is nearer your own playing strength. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
