Logical Chess Move by Move by Chernev would be a good one I think. It gets you into chess thinking. Any annotated collection of games would probably be helpful. Other than that, just do some tactics.
Chess book suggestions?

Thank you! I recently bought a book on Karpov's best games annotated by Karpov. I look forward to going through those. I will check out Logical Chess Move.
I would welcome any other suggestions...

'How to Beat Your Dad at Chess' is my favorite chess book. 50 checkmate patterns against castled kings mostly. Starts each with minimal mechanics and becomes very complex by the end of each pattern, and includes a test at the end. Maybe and endgame study is in order...
I always loved Max Euwe's books; "Chess Master vs. Chess Amateur", "Judgement and Planning in Chess", "Strategy and Tactics in Chess". You may like Robert Snyder's "Unbeatable Chess Lessons", "More Unbeatable Chess Lessons", you would like Fundamental Chess Openings (Van Der Sterren) as well. Many like anything that C.J.S Purdy ever wrote, so check out his books, you will like them

Hi everyone! I am getting back into chess after about 3 or 4 years of not playing a game and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for books to help me get back into it. I am by no means a beginner...I was able to hold my own in many tournaments, am very familiar with opening strategies and tactics. However, my chess is rusty. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you so much!
