How to win at Chess, by Levy Rozman (AKA Gothamchess.)

How to Reassess Your Chess 4th Edition by Jeremy Silman. My chess.com rating is 1200 rapid. The book is written for people 1400+, so some of the puzzles in the book are a bit beyond my current level, but still a good read and a masterclass on positional chess.

It is so great. A big effort has been made to include all of his tournaments and games, also a lot, that is not in common databases. And then it has his own articles, on the events, but also material on how the USSR analysed him (he beated all their top players consistently in the late 1960's).

You would think that a book’s presence next to my couch in the living room would indicate active reading, but the only one of these I’ve touched in the past three weeks is the book of poetry. I will be starting The Grapes of Wrath today, and may return to actively studying rook endgames in Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual.
