Get a basic tactics book. That will probably be easiest to fit into a potentially busy schedule and you can fit in some practice in a short amount of time.
Best way to study chess with no internetconnection or "technology"?
So you can read a book and you can practice chess tactics on a board but it's heresy to do the exact same things on a tablet?

Sorry sir, but I think that is one of the dumbest questions I have red so far. If you dont want to have internet as a family I would guess it would be to stay together, I dont see how studying chess is any different from using the internet, you are not with your family and loved ones when you study chess.
That said I think common sense would answer your question, before internet exsited everyone red chess books. And in fact serious players that actually improve improve with books, not with cheap chess web sites promises.
Botvinnik's 100 annotated books would be good to see some chess games.
Some cheap tactics book would be enough to stay sharp during your vacations.
Have fun, and check out how I am going to make America great again.

Well, you might find it weird but that's just the way it is. #Ifallyoucandoitmakeajokedon'tbotherposting
Also can't bring a chessboard.

As common sense has it, I also asked for a book :-)
And there are times to read a book e.g. when we are at the pool or in the evening before bed or something.
Nice to hear you will pass your vacations as a united family. You may want to consider vacationing in United States, we have some nice hotels in California.
And regarding chess study, I would recommend you doing 5 tactics at breakfast, you may even want to set up the position on a chess board and try to solve the puzzles with your family. At the evening you can go over some games.
Nothing personal but could you learn english? Red is the past for the verb "read". First attacking Palestinians and now criticizing my grammar?
Erm, hate to say it but he's right, you know. The past forms are pronouced as [red], but are still spelled "read", just like the infinitive "to read".
Ofcourse we spend time together and where did I say i wasn't grateful?
How am I trying to ignore them as i specified the timings when I could read a book?
I can already imagine a few afternoons at the pool where my sister will only be reading books, my mother sunbading and my dad doing laps in the pool. The perfect moment for me to also read a book inbetween swimming.
You should realise that half the comments here are jokes/trolls.
Don't take it too seriously ;) .
There is a chess book I have always loved bringing with me during vacations, easy and pleasant to read: Winning strategy by GM Yasser Seirawan.
I don't know your level but I consider it as an excellent book for beginners (and above).
Hey there fellow chessplayers.
In a week I'm going on a family vacation. During that vacation we have 1 big rule as a family ... No internet/technology allowed. (So no smartphones, laptops, ...) It's one week were none of us are connected to the world.
Since I won't be able to make my chess moves here or practice (tactics, mentor, vids, ...), I was wondering how I could learn some more chess when I am on that vacation. Since I can't use any internet/technology, books came to mind. But there are sooo many books and I have no idea where to start.
So my question is...
Which chessbook, is the one (or two, but not more as I won't have the time to read so much) that you would recommend! Considering I still think of myself as a beginner!
Then again it doesn't have to be a book persé, but that just got in my head the first since any technology isn't allowed on the vacation.
