     And you may suggest books too. I will update them in this list. Thank You.

Too much to ask 

Hahaha.

Some are reviewed here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20140717063824/http://www.chesscafe.com/archives/reviews.htm

I read them all that is how I achieved 1390 in bullet chess.

Are you thinking of reading these? If so it will take you the rest of your life unless you work very hard. Maybe better to shorten your list

No not all. for example there are 16 Endgame books. 4 or 5 is enough. 

Thanks for the list of 130 chess books. In 37 years, when I get a chance to get through them all, I will let you know what I think. 

Hahaha.

Did you finish them yet? 

Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond...

https://www.chess.com/blog/RussBell/good-chess-books-for-beginners-and-beyond

None.

                  Heres the easy way 

           Just four books

Well, that list leaves out most of the great tournament books although it has a few well known ones.  But where are NY 1889, St. Petersburg 1909 and 1914, NY 1924, Moscow 1935, Nottinghmam 1936, and AVRO 1938, just to mention famous pre-war tournaments that had good books written about them?

OK.  Just chiming in, in case there are any readers that bump are curious.

I'm familiar with all but about 20 of these directly, have read most of the overall material.  Just opinions below; taking a shot at part of the question, picking out those books aimed at players 2200 or 2300+.  Again, imo, most important in terms of which resources apply to which student levels is the method of study. Thus, some books will lend themselves more than others to a more immersive study form. We'll take this to be study, rather than training (we won't differentiate here but be intuitive).

Briefly, all Dvoretsky and all Aagard books fit this bill; GK's books (all) are more or less essential.

Other Advanced books:
38. Endgame Strategy - Shereshevsky - can be read by 1800 but has value for strong players also.
64. Mastering The Endgame Volume 1 and 2 by Shereshevsky, Slutsky - hard not to like this pair of books.
81. Perfect your chess - a pretty tough puzzle book - great.  Only Jansa's book occurs as more difficult in this category.  (The Best Move).  Famously, there is an argument on Amazon about the book.  One person says "for 1600 an up" pretty humorous if you look at the examples carefully.
98. Secrets of Practical Chess - Nunn - his best book for strong players - so well composed.
108. The Art of Chess Analysis - Timman

Not listed:
Gata Kamsky's two new books - both appropriate for 2300+

Many really good titles here, but generally all geared towards 2000 or below.  A few sleepers.  One example I like: 129. Winning Pawn Structures - Baburin

List is too long. Should've made it 10 books for every rating range ( 1000-1400 ..etc)

@Mohan_Kumar_Chess I just found this old thread and am curious to know how many of the books on this list you have read over the past couple of years?

The truth. None.
