Hey readers of Chess Strategy 
)
Here is a list of my favourite chess books:
Winning Chess Tactics for Junior - puzzle book, to learn the basic of TACTICS TACTICS TACTICS. For instance, if you want to mate the opponent’s king on g7, first you have to plan how to remove the defender of g7
How to Beat Your Dad in Chess by Murray Chandler - MUST KNOW mating patterns ) How can you checkmate opponent king without knowing chess mating pattern???
Logical Chess Move by Move by Irving Chernev - every move explained. It is important for 1200+ elo players to understand the purpose of each move and how the Master thinks. A sample of the comments in this book is ‘’every pawn move on your kingside creates weak square'’ –> g2-g3, weaken the light square….it allows your opponent to put bishop on h3 and queen on f3 to create the mating pattern.
The Most Instructive Games of Chess by Irving Chernev - a lot of beautiful, interesting and instructive games, very cheap too.
Chess Master vs Chess Amateur by Dr.Euwe - Chess Master will punish the error made by chess amateur, it’s a good experience.
The Amateur Mind by IM Jeremy Silman - designed for 1200 to 1800 elo level. Chess players like to read more comments, not only moves!
How to Reassess Your Chess by IM Jeremy Silman - Best modern instructional chess book
The Reassess Your Chess Workbook by IM Jeremy Silman - you can read this book even before reading “The Amateur Mind” and “How to Reassess Your Chess”, because it contains chapters “Silman thinking technique” and “Imbalance Crash Course”. Every exercise in this book is also very useful!!!
The Middlegame 1 and 2 by Max Euwe - the middlegame examples are highly instructive, another well written book by former World Champion Euwe!
