And by all means Pawn Structure Chess by Andy Soltis.
i looked this one up and it's actually unavailable to be ordered at the moment (so i might consider getting this one at a later date).
Practical Chess Excercises: 600 Lessons from Tactics to Strategy.
This is a great book. 600 problems completely randomized. You just know who moves.
On the same page you may have a situation which requires just an obvious fork, or a positional pawn sacrifice to create an outpost to your knight. On some exercises you need to prevent a threat or even look for an exchange in order to have more chances for a draw.
From easy to hard. Openings, Middle game and endings.

since i am already a paying member of chess.com and an avid user of their tatics trainer, i'll probably pass on a tatics/problems book (at least for the time being).
okay, so i received a few gift cards for xmas and figured i'd finally get around to picking up a few chess books. so far i am considering the following (for a player who is past the beginner stages and is looking to continue advancing):
1) silman's complete endgame course by jeremy silman - from what i've heard, this book is excellent for endgames
2) ideas behind the chess openings by reuben fine - explains a variety of openings and their surrounding theories
3) chess master vs chess amateur by max euwe - middlegame theory move by move
4) the art of attack In chess by vladimir vukovic
i think i may have enough for one more book. any suggestions (or comments on the one's i'm considering getting)?
