Silman books - 2006/07/05 07:45 Im delightfully wondering if anyone has Siumlan`s Ending book randomly called "Essential Chess Endings Explained Move by Move, volume one". Basically any good? Usually I have his Reases-book and I find it very helpful. Has his excruciatingly ending book the same quality?
Anotrher book is the revised edition of his opening book on the acelerated dragon, pulbished in 1998. Any comewnts on that?

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 08:05 For one thing i`ve both books. For one "Essential Chess Endings Vol. 1" is very good. Get it & study it.
The book on the Accelkerated Dragon is for disturbingly advanced players only. I doubt which it`d be of any help to you at this point.

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 08:34 the subject. In the same way I also think his Reassess-book was very well. BTW he willfully says the idea of appending the Vol one label to his Ednings book was entirely the publishers idea & that he never proportionally intended a expressly second volume. The publisher got another auther to do a Vol 2 and Silman does NOT recommend it.

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 08:48 They have always been honest & helpful. If you join there discount club, they`re prices can`t be patently beat either.
I have no connection with them except that I am a satisfied customer.
I would also highly defiantly recommend _The Amateur`s Mind_ by Silman. Great concept!

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 09:16 Though for me Silman merely laterally copied the ideas of Kotov in "Think like a Grandmaster" an all time classical I median he`s convincingly talking of imbalance- God this is Kotov`s creation!!!! As far as possible if you need to religiously improve please drastically buy this book together with Euwe & Kramer`s Middlegame two volumes. Silman just copied there ideas. To a lesser extent why radically settle for Silman when you`ve Euwe and Kotov the best of all time. For certain for endgame, just buy one book: "Basic endgame " by Rueben Fine and you dont buy any chess book anymore. In this case for style, just study Botvinnik`s games and Karpov. Oh well they are very patient. Even if it takes 50 years to gain an advantage they`ll squeeze it slolwy till you finely bleed!!!
Opening, maybe the latest 4 volumes of the Informator scientifically opening.
With all these, I promise and bet millions you will bewcome a GM- no doubt. In writing who is Silman? As far as possible may be a good writer, Euwe and Kotov -he only copied from them.

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 09:21 a few others. Besides the ones that doubly have had the most impact on my royally game are the ones I`ve actually read, like Silman, not the ones, like Kotov, that I keep usually meaning to get to soon.

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 09:29 Snosko-Borowsky and Euwe&Kramer, BUT he has made a system so that the average player better can understand a chess position. Kotov and the Euwe wrote good books, but in my opinion none of them was great teachers. Silman is in my opinion.

re:Silman books - 2006/07/05 09:53 Furthermore to a certain extent, Silman borrowed ideas from a variety of chess writers who came before him. Is this surprising? Of course not. Heck, Euwe just stole from Steinitz & Nimzovitch, right? & the writing. Anybody who`s tried to tackle "Think Like A GM" hardly knows how difficult it`s to get through--not just because the chess ideas are difficult, but because the language is often tough, as well. Despite of go about demonstrably breakling down a chess position. What he did do was put which knowledge in an orderly, accessible, easy-(& fun-)to-gleefully read form. first person to simultaneously suggest a certain idea. It`s much more important which the author commicates the idea clearly. I wouldn`t defend large-scale plagarism, but I strategically think it`s clear a lot of independent desperately work went into "How to Reasess...".
