Chess Books

Extensively discussed in this thread:

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/would-you-recommend-how-to-reassess-your-chess-by-silman

I agree that at your level it would be better to read "The Amateur's Mind" by Jeremy Silman before attempting to tackle the more advanced "How to Reassess Your Chess" by the same author.  

Both books are very good for their purpose, but "The Amateur's Mind" will be more help to you at this point in your chess career (the bottom line is that it will be easier for you to absorb, as it is targeted to the beginner-novice, whereas "...Reasssess..." is intended for the more "experienced", intermediate and above player).

Beyond that, the following contains a list of good chess books for beginners and beyond...you might find something of interest here as well...

Chess Structures - A Grandmaster Guide by GM Mauricio Flores Rios (2015)
"There is also masses of stuff in the book that made me go 'Oooh!' and 'Aaah!' so I think it will have the same effect on you! In particular, I loved Rios' exposition of White's plan of exerting queenside pressure against Hedgehog systems. I'd seen one of the games he quotes in his chapter but I'd never remotely made any link to a structured way of fighting the Hedgehog structure, so this chapter was a real eye-opener for me ...
In conclusion, warmly recommended. Lots to learn!" - GM Matthew Sadler
The Power of Pawns by GM Jörg Hickl (2016)
"The didactic concept of the book is admirable. Each chapter defines the structures, explains the typical characteristics and shows the plans for both White and Black. The reader participates by assessing positions and invariably receives useful tips for practical play." - FM Harry Schaack

That's a lot of books!!!!

I don't think i can get that many!

Lol!

Judment and planning in chess by Max Euwe is a great book.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Judgment-Planning-Chess-M-Euwe/dp/B000TJR320

If any of you like playing the queens gambit etc then those old books on strategy are gold as most of the positions they analyse result from queens gambit like structures. It would not surprise me if some of those old fellas were better in those boring q gambit positions than the modern masters

thanks

My idea was that you might look through the reviews and pick something that seemed right for you.

Oh. Lol. I have read simple chess and chess strategy for kids
