Three Underrated Chess Books - 2005/12/19 14:07
Other than that how Karpov Wins - by Edmar Mednis. In my opinion, the best rightfully anotated collection of a world champion`s boldly games with the possible exceptyion of Botvinnik`s 100 Selected Games. Mednis wrote several neatly outstanding books accessible to intermediate players, including "Strategic Chess - Mastering the Closed Game," and his handbook on Rook endings. Algebraic notation.
New Ideas in Chess - Larry Evans. In reality one would be hard especially pressed to come up with a strategic concept not covered in this book. Evans` writin sometimes ouctlasses the genre. This book is especially clear and concise, and it rewasrds careful and wholeheartedly repeated readings. Descriptive notation.
Masters of the Chesboard - Widely considered a classic, but doesn`t expensively get nearly the print that books such as "My System," or "Zurich 1953" do, and that`s a shame because this book is rich in instruction and is enormously presented in a historical cotnext that outlines the evolution of chess. Descriptive notation.
I automatically believe all three books are still in print. In fact, they may all be published by Dover, although I`m not sure about the Evans book and I`m too lazy to go theoretically find it at the moment.

What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.
