Recommended Chess Books for players rated 1900

Hi, can anyone (rated 2100+ at least) tell me what are some good books for expert players my level at 1900 USCF? I have a hard time defeating 2000 rated players and have gone 0-8 against 2000+ rated players. I have won against everyone 1999 below. Literally, if you are 1999, for some reason I will win but if they are just 2000 I won't. Anyways I am willing to put in the time and I want advice for mainly middlegame and endgame books, I've got openings downpack.

For weakness in endings, I would highly recommend two books. First, read Endgame Strategy by Shereshevsky. That will give you a framework of strategies to work with. Without the framework you're just wasting time memorizing variations.

After that, pick up "Positional Chess Handbook" by Gelfer for a couple of thousand examples from GM play, sorted by type of ending.  After you see good knight versus bad bishop, for example, executed flawlessly in 40 positions, you'll understand it completely. Then you move on to the next chapter.

Although Fezzik listed some very good books, I don't think they are targetted to your specific weakness.

What books have you already read?

I would suggest that the reason you can't crack 2000+ players is because your expertise is openings, rather than middlegame and endgame. Reverse that and you would do better, especially if your opening expertise is all rote learning rather than understanding.

I don't know, you haven't really given us much to go on, so I'm just going to dump my list of chess books I consider essential reading:

Rank beginner:
Seirawan - Play Winning Chess (2003)

Beginner books:
Seirawan - Winning Chess Tactics (2003)
Seirawan - Winning Chess Strategies (2003)(my first chess book, and, wow, what an eye opener)
Seirawan - Winning Chess Endings (2003)

Intermediate:
Silman - How To Reassess Your Chess (1993)
Silman - Silman's Complete Endgame Course (2007)
Vladimir Vukovic - Art of Attack in Chess (1965)
Reinfeld - 1001 Brilliant Ways To Mate (1955)
Nimzovich - My System (1925)
Nimzovich - Chess Praxis (1929)
Kmoch - Pawn Power in Chess (1959)
Chernev - Logical Chess, Move By Move (1957)
Fine - Ideas Behind The Chess Openings (1943)
Kotov - Think Like A Grandmaster (1971)
Euwe & Kramer - The Middlegame Series (1964)
Marovic - Understanding Pawn Play in Chess (2000)
Muller & Lamprecht - Fundamental Chess Endings (2001)

He adequately analyzes each position but I don't recommend the book for the quality of the annotations. Seeing the same techniques demonstrated again and again really burns it into your brain and that is the main value of the book.  

Each chapter covers a specific type of position and gives you multiple examples, many positions take twenty or more moves to win, so the book is great for learning about strategy.

Some chapters are on material imbalances, good Bishop versus knight, bad bishop versus knight, and so on. Other chapters are on specific types of positional advantages. It is pretty wide-ranging in content. The weakest chapter is the one on rook endings.    

Jeffrey, I can't really argue with the books B1 and Fezzik listed, but that is far too much material. You would be much better off working your way through the two books I recommended and then going back through them several times until you feel confident that you have absorbed the material. 

Yes, of course, I'm not suggesting he read through my entire list, then go play. But if he's at 1900 USCF level a lot of them are worth reading.

How To Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman is the one book I would read if I read just one. It includes his Silman Thinking Technique which gives you a structured way of applying the lessons to the board (Silman's books are all about delivering the information to the student in the best way, without overwhelming). However, maybe this is not advanced enough for the original poster (?) - I would be surprised if he's reached 1900USCF with no knowledge of the material in this book.

If it is not advanced enough, try Vladimir Vukovic's Art of Attack in Chess, Nimzovich's My System, Kmoch's Pawn Power in Chess, and Kotov's Think Like A Grandmaster. These are classic, highly regarded, highly original chess books that every serious chess player should read once in their life.

Um, I haven't read Silaman's book, I have reassess your chess but I never fully read it. I got to 1900 with : Tactics: CT ART, Anthology of Chess Combinations: Haven't completely mastered; My Systems, Art of Middle Game (got me about 200 points 1700-1900; Art of Attack, and my opening books that I study.
