Opinions for buying chess books

Hello,

I would like to recommend me books from these categories.

--Chess Openings

--Tactics

--Strategy

--Endgame

--Game Collections

I would be very happy if you recommend me books from these categories.

Thanks in advance,

Panayotis

Any help please..?

Thanks..

Logical Chess: Move by Move covers whole games, tactics, strategy, and openings. Here's an insightful review: http://chessskill.blogspot.com/2013/01/logical-chess-book-review.html

I would recommend Reti's masters of the Chessboard as an excellent first game collection.

Panayotis : my first reaction was : are you going to start a library to lend out books, as you mention even five subjects !

But, serious : you can help yourself (post 2) by telling us your age, how long do you play chess, what is your level, are you member of a club or only internet chess, how much hours per week do you have to spend reading a book on chess, what is your first interest ( openings or endgames ?  ---  I think Strategy and Tactics come later on and Game Collections is a nice hobby thereafter )

Believe me, many of us did the same, study and play, and we really can help you, as Ziryab and hicetnunc did !!!

Go to Chesstempo for tactics, then when you don't get simple tactics anymore do it in guest mode.  As for books:

I second Logical Chess Move by Move

Silman's Complete Endgame Course

Informant's 1000 Best Games for collections as well.

Maybe "My System" when you are 1400 strength.  Not rating necessarily but strength. 

You re right.

First, i am 17 years old--architect university student. I am beginner at chess ..i only know the basic of chess. My first interest is openings.

I do not know how can i start , thats why i ask fro you to recommend me books from different sections. I really need your help about that.

I would like to tell me ways so i can start.

Thanks in advance

Excellent text. Might be too advanced for a beginner. http://chessskill.blogspot.com/2008/08/la-crme-de-la-crme.html

My profile shows 1982. That's USCF and was my peak eighteen months ago. A few months after that, I was the top rated played in my city (after a 2050 moved to another city). I've recently dropped to 1899, but will rise again.

My blog charts my progress, offers reviews of books and iOS apps, and is generally good reading: http://chessskill.blogspot.com/.

I haven't moved. I rose to number one when a friend moved.

I've dropped to number 4 or 5 through some losses.

It might not be soon. In any case, I'm more interested in a trophy currently possessed by our city's number 1. http://www.spokanechessclub.org/City%20Championship.htm.

He earned the trophy by beating me. Hopefully I will get a chance for a rematch next summer. I'm proud of the kid, but I still want to knock him back down to size.
