Hello, I am solving nowadays 100 chess puzzles a day on chess tempo. I am rated arround 2200 on lichess at the moment. I read 2 books in my entire chess carreer. I am sure that I became much better because of these books. I read my first book when I was a beginner. Here is my book: https://amzn.to/3KqkFZt. I read my other book when I was already a good chess player. This book is more about calculation and tactic. The book helped imroving me a lot. Here is the lick of my book. This one is the best chessbook that I have ever seen. https://amzn.to/3qFL7GC

Hi simon2344,

2200 is an impressive rating indeed! It sounds like you are doing all the right things. I find books are very helpful as well, particularly for studying openings. I assume you are using Chess.com's Game Review feature to analyze your games, it is an amazing tool for learning from mistakes. At your level, you might consider hiring a professional chess coach and go for the FM title!

Best of luck.

My favorite books are Pump up your rating by Axel smith and Chess Structures by Mauricio Flores Rios. I've never used chessable - it feels like I'm only doing hard memorization and not actually understanding the moves.
