Hi guys,

Any reviews on Winning chess series by yaseer seirwan. I am confused between Yaseers books or Silmans books. I am currently rated 1380 on fide

I have Winning Chess Strategies. Silman has credit for contributing to that book, at least in my edition. The style and content is similar to Silman's. It's a good book for an introduction into chess strategy. Also good is Silman's Complete Book of Chess Strategy. It doesn't go into a lot of depth but provides a wide range of information. It lightly covers a number of openings, works on strategy and even provides advice for tournament play.

Anyone tried Amateurs mind ? is it for my level  or i should go for How To Reassess Your Chess ? or just go for winning chess series? Please advice and thanks in advance

I don't think any of Silman's books are rated too high for someone of your level. There may be parts you don't understand now but will soon if you study and practice. I have Amateurs Mind and Reasses Your Chess Workbook but not Reassess Your Chess. I think they're all good books that seem to approach their goal (chess mastery or improvement) from different directions and styles.
I would guess Amateur's Mind may be a better choice for you but there are folks here more familiar with the books that will probably have more informed advice.

Varun, if you are under 1300-1400 I recomend you read The Amateurs Mind, and if you are under 1600 read How to reases your chess. Read if you want the review I wrote about them in the last comment of this post:
