What do you think about books
1. Aron Nimzowitsch my system
2. Max Euwe strategy and tactics in chess
3. Israel Gelfer positional chess handbook
4. Mark Dvoretsky Maneuvering: The Art of Piece Play
Do you think this books must have as well for 2100- 2300 player strength, do you think they will be beneficial?
when I posted about reading somewhere on Quora that Carlsen when he was younger told somebody to read The road to chess improvement. some IM said its for more advanced players. so maybe for 2100???
Jacob Aagaard’s Grandmaster Preparation series is reputed to be aimed at the 2100+ rating range.
Interesting

What do you think about books in post number #2
My brother studied 3rd book in your list when he was 8 years old by himself. He got national U10 championship by beating 2200 when he was 9. His rating went from 1400 to 1880 in that year. But i am not sure if any books are for 2100+ Certainly a 2100+ player can benefit from reading a book about a subject he lacks in his knowledge but any book can be studied by anyone only requirement is being able to analyze master games by your own. In the end chess books are master game collections.

lol Why people who has not achieved such rating comment is such thread.
If you are 1800, then why do you need books for 2400 rated player?
How do you know he is 1800 ? Blitz rating is low for many players
I'm looking for absolute best of the best books, bestsellers etc..
Did you read any of the books listed?
I'm looking for bestsellers, must have, exceptional books for 2100-2400 strength players.
So far I bought " Mark Dvoretsky endgame manual " book , which is bestseller and all around book that any 2100-2300players should have ( of course others too, but I'm just talking about this particular strength).
So please recommend me any other book.
