Recommended books to for achieving 2200 elo

Hello all,

I would like to ask the experts in chess training; what are the best books that i can read to reach 2200 elo (i'm about 2000 elo).

Many thanks

Perfect Your Chess by Volokitin and Grabinsky

"How to Cheat" by N.N.

There once was a chess playing Dane

whose bad results drove him insane

In the depths of defeat

he read "How to Cheat"

and never was beaten again!

Thanks alot dears for the great comments

By no means I'm close to the level referred by OP, but I've read from several sources that Mark Dvoretsky was the top coach for bringing a player from 2000 to 2400. Consequently, I believe his books should be what salmanov is looking for.

Personally, I'am delighted by the books of Pandolfini, an e-book by Musin about the technical endings according to Nedzmedinov. It is also said that 'My System' by Niemzowich is a must read for anyone playing chess seriously. I recollect some paople mentioning Hansen as one of the top coaches nowadays.

I hope there is nothing misleading in what I wrote.

Edit: I forgot to mention GM Serper and GM Bercerra, publishing here. Again, I am not close to the level of 2000, so take it with a grain of salt.

Thank u so much my friend for ur nice comment.... i will take ur advise into my consideration :-)

is reading a book the best way to raise your rating? ive havnt played off of online since highschool due to a lack of money and transportation (im a college student and not allowed a car till next year). i would estimate my rating between 1500-1700. ive never gotten any formal coaching. only tips here and there from opponents and books. what is the best way to improve my game? because i find it hard to believe that more books will take you from 2000-2400. thats a long way to go

sorry i ment 2200***

IMHO, the best way to learn chess is to study the technical endings. This is not what I claim, I've taken it from: Filidor, Capablanca, Euwe, Tarrasch, Botvinnik and Karpov.

I follow The Technical endings according to Nedzhmedinov, by Musin. There is a link to it as a pdf file at the forum of Nedzhmedinov group here. I've been solving thematic puzles for year and a half now, and I am pretty happy with my improvement. I focused on it because that was the weakest point of my game. Tactical motiffs are second of importance to me to know, and matting patterns (there is a marvellous description of matting paterns here at batgir's blog) come before them.

Positional play is laid out in Niemzowitch' 'My System', I've read it once, and I plan to read it several times more.

Openings come at the end.

In forging this plan I recollected some pieces of advice how to learn chess from a GM, an IM and a FM, which I've got (independent from each other) at the time when I was not interested in chess at all.
