Recommend books please - 2008/10/05 23:02 Hi, I have been wondering which books I should buy that would improve my game. I have all of the books in the Complete chess strategy series by Ludek Pachman, Dvoretsky's endgame manual, grandmaster chess move by move, by John Nunn, the Greatest games ever played, by John Nunn, Graham Burgess and John Emms, Chess, by Lazlo Polgar, On the attack, by Jan Timman, Standard Chess Openings, by Eric Shiller, and a few others. Which others should I get that would definitely improve my game? (I am about a 1600).

Recommend books please - 2008/10/11 22:16 I would recommend buying MCO-15, which is more up-to-date than Standard Chess Openings by Eric Schiller.

MCO-15 is more up-to-date than Nunn's Chess Openings(NCO) by about 9 or 10 years. MCO-15 has more explanatory text, but NCO has analysis of a lot more variations than MCO. (n.b. I don't know how much larger MCO-15 is compared to it's predecessor MCO-14, but I suspect that NCO still has many more lines analyzed than MCO-15.)
