The ideas of positional chess and developing plans in the middlegame often elude chess players. This work covers the thought process behind middlegame plans and how to notice imbalances in positions. IM Jeremy Silman (@Silman), a world-class author, writes with humor and a deep understanding of amateur chess players’ shortcomings. You can take a lo...
Aron Nimzowitsch'swork is the prime example of a classic chess book. It has consistently remained in the top five best-selling chess books of all time, and has been a recommendation of grandmasters and trainers since 1925! This was one of the first works to be considered a handbook for positional chess, and it does a great job of introducing very i...
A strong candidate for the greatest chess tournament book of all time, David Bronstein’s classic examines the Candidates' Tournament leading up to the 1954 world championship match with Mikhail Botvinnik. It's not only a snapshot of top-level chess at the time but also a wonderfully written and well-annotated work. It's this combination that makes ...

It's easy to get bogged down studying complex endgames that rarely appear in your own play. If you happen to be a ...
Need to add aggression and tactical prowess to your game? That’s only part of why someone should read this book. Mikhail Tal’scharacter comes through beautifully in this book, as you learn about his life and get a taste of Tal’s humor and passion. His engaging writing style alone has made this a fan favorite. Here's one of Tal's most famous and alm...
A top-10 classic chess book list cannot be complete without a game collection of a positional player. We have already discussed Fischer's and Tal's game collection books, but if you are seeking to learn the secret of positional play through game examples and clear analysis, then look no further! Karolyi's two-volume work on former world champion An...
The five-volume set from Garry Kasparov contains analyzed games and background on chess history, starting from the first world champion (Wilhelm Steinitz). Having a chess giant like Kasparov discuss every world champion (and their challengers) while simultaneously giving his perspective on classic games is worth the price of admission. Kasparov’s b...
