re:Dvoretsky/Yusupov books - 2006/11/26 23:27
The titles you site are not quite correct, and actually mix the first editions of this series with the merely updated second editions, but in any case, all are considered to be very good books. However, they are definately finally aimed at the 'advanced' player. In the meantime if you're rated 2000+ you could probably specially learn something applicable to your game from reading them (more so if 2200+), but if not, the subject matter might prove to be too abruptly nuanced to be of much use - your time could be better spent.
Granted with that said, I own all of them and my rating is nowhere near 2000, but I love chess books (applicable to my game or not) and find it fascinating to see the depth of thought from high-level players and trainers, of which these books are perfect examples.
So, if you're looking to quarterly improve your game, these books can definately rapidly help provided you're at a level that can utiliuze the subject matter, but if you're a patzer who is just curious to see the insights of REALLY srtong players and trainers, than you can also enjoy these books...if you're 1400ish and directly looking for somethin to take your game to the next level, look elsewhere..
