38 Books that will seriously improve your rating if studied carefully even without doing the exercises. Get the physical copies, whether new or used. Avoid kindle / epub / mobi editions if possible, as they often contain errors. Study them in this order.
I saw a bunch of threads online both in favor and against using chess books. I downloaded My System by Aaron Nimzowitsch and I started reading it but its fucking hard. I read one chapter and skipped 90% of the actual algebraic notation explanations.
If you're looking for book recommendations, make sure to read the /r/chess recommended book list. There are lots of suggested books for players looking to improve their game, broken down into six categories: basics, tactics, openings, middlegames, endgames, and game collections.
I have read 2 books on chess in my life, both were on specific openings that I had problems with. The first book gave me almost 500 rating points boost and it was Step by Step: Nimzo Indian. The thing is: the book really helped my chess but not in a way I have expected.
Chess books, other than The Grass Arena (also a hard hitting film), are not used anymore. YouTube, Chessbase, lichess, chess.com and chessable are resources modern people use. Also ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ can be watched in Netflix.
