Hey,

I was intending to buy some chess books to get better and I was wondering which should I chose for tactics, middlegame, and endgame which I think is what the r/chess subreddit improvement guide recommends. Would Back to Basics: Tactics, Silman's Amateur Mind, and Silman's Endgame Course be a good fit? Or should I go with some books from the Winning Chess Series or anything else entirely?

No, that is an excellent book up to say 1800 rating.
