Books I Own (thus far)
« Thread Started on Jan 22, 2004, 4:58am »		[Quote]
So far I've got these books:

-Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess-B.F.

-My Great Predecessors Part I -Garry Kasparov

-Pandolfini's Endgame Course-Bruce Pandolfini

-Weapons of Chess-B. Pandolfini

-Winning Chess Tactics- Yasser Seirawan

-Winning Chess Openings-Y. Seirawan


There are more books written on chess than any other sport! I'm always trying to get people's recommendations on good books to read. I have at least as many books on my "want list" as I have actual books! ;D

Hey Brandon, what do think of Kasparov's book? I've been thinking about getting it.

Overall, I'd say the Kasparov book is good. It has some nice historical info besides just the games.

One thing though, I have trouble going through entire games in algebraic notation. I can follow for maybe 10 moves and then I'm lost. ICC has all the games from the book on file, so one of these days I should start to go through the games that way. Then I can actually follow along and understand the analysis.

I have recorded several of my own games in a notebook, in algebraic notation. Doing that helps a bit, without doing that I might be able to just follow games a few moves into the opening. So it helps, but it must take ALOT of experience to be able to go through games totally in your mind.
