Chess book for around 1300-1500 player

Hi all,

I am around a 13-1500 rated player, and I am looking for recommended books for improving my play.  I have read Chernev's Logical Chess Move by Move, which I found very useful.  I have also read Patrick Woolf's An Idiots Guide to Chess, which I again fouhnd invaluable as a beginner, but I would like to study my next book which will maybe push me on towards 1600 and beyond.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 ditto XD

yes books are very useful but to play openings can vary decide what opening you like, eg my favourite is the reti, and grunfield if u would ever like a game with me just give me a challenge i am online most days i usually like to play long games about 5 to 7 days

maybe you're ready to look for a book that's specific to an opening you like to play.

Excellent, thanks for the replies guys.  i love playing the Colle system, so I have just checked it out online and there seem to be a few books available by David I Rudel which look very useful indeed, so I will have to buy 1 of them.  I would like to take you up on a game Silent.  I cannot challenge you as you dont accept challenges from under 1400's and I am 1388, so if you could challenge me that would be great.

Thanks,

Jamie.
