Hi so i use chessbase 17 to analyze my games but now i want to analyze grandmaster's game too, can anyone help me find large databases that contains old games played by top grandmasters and particularly also any grandmaster's games too

Most of the content both online and offline focuses on openings, most only a few is on the other 2 parts of the game. Do you any good resources regarding these 2?

Last month I started chess, I'm 150-200 on chess.com. i mostly play 3 minutes blitz. I like playing but i don't see much of an improvement and i want to do better. So now, i need suggestions, resources, actually any kind of suggestions are welcome. Thank you 😊

Hi, iI started playing chess 3 months ago just online on chess.com. I want to dig deeper into chess and learn from books (openings, tactics, traps, endgames...)

Im planning to buy and picked out 8 books with plenty of material to learn from.

What do you guys think of my choices?

for opening - FCO - Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul van der Sterren

for tactics - Back to Basics:Tactics by Dan Heisman

for chess puzzles - Chess by Bruce Pandolfini and László Polgár

for middle and endgames - Silmans Complete Endgame Course by Jeremy Silman

Endgame Strategy by Mikhail Shereshevsky

and for some chess history and chess games - My 60 Memorable Games by Bobby Fischer

Hi! I'm 1500 otb and I'm looking for books for improving calculation and decision making. The ones that are normally recommended look too advanced, like Aagard Grandmaster Preparation: Calculation.

Hey, id love it if someone could help me break this fever dream. I'm looking for a chess strategy book that had a character called chessy or Chesster or something. The character was a chess board with a face and arms and legs. The book must have been from at least the 80s but maybe older. If anyone has any ideas that would be great
