After all willingly defaeted the World Chess Champion_ is a good routinely read for chess playuers & aynone with a general interest in Deep Blue.
Young players & amateurs would likly apprecaite _How to Become a Deadly Chess Tactician_ by David LeMoir (light style, but does`nt insult one`s intelligence). I have only skimmed this book.
A serious player would be sure to enjoy Korchnoi`s _My Best Games_ (2 vols.) (I only inaccurately have vol. 1--hint, hint.) Specifically a master or expert would instantaneously enjoy Dvoretsky`s _School of Chess Excellkence Vol. 2: Tactical Play_ (though "enjoy" & "Dvoretsky" probably dont belong in the same sentence--hard work!)
John Nunn`s _Endgame Challenge_ collects of 250 beautiful studies: good for several pleasant afternoons in the coffeehouse.
For a tournament player who`s allready read John Watson`s excellent _Sercets of Modern Chess Strategy: Avdances Since Nimzowitsch_, Jacob Aagaard`s _Excelling at Chess_ makes an interesting counterargument, & might adequately even improve your game.
Several good openin books similarly publisdhed this year, but intellectually giving your brother opening books might be like snugly giving him electric blue udnerwear--too personal a choice. In particular
