Thanks ...waiting for some more recommendations.
Guys help me out with chess birthday gift...

your friend will buy you a book, why do 'you' ask for advice?
He wants mme to tell him what chess book I want. So am asking for suggestions.


If you haven't got any tactics books yet, I'd recommend Predator at the chessboard. You can use it as a puzzle book but it goes into basic theory of tactics too.

I recommend this book: CHESS 5333 Problems, Combinations, and Games; By Lazlo Polgar (WGM Judit Polgar's father). Happy early birthday!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions . I will surely go through all recommendations made here and pick the best I am comfortable with. Thanks for the wish @Heritageoviya
One of my friends has promised me to buy me a book on chess on my birthday. Please suggest me something . Should I go in for puzzle books ? Should I go for books with theory .....
