Hi I am more of a tactical player and I want to improve in positinal play (more of a beginner/intermediate).

Which of these books would you recommend (or any other suggestions):

Winning Chess Strategies by Yasser Seirawan

Build Up Your Chess series by Artur Yusupov

Techniques of Positional Play by Valeri Bronznik, Anatoli Terkhin

The Amateur's Mind by Jeremy Silman

How to Reassess Your Chess by Jeremy Silman

Mastering Chess Strategy by Johan Hellsten

Positional Play by Jacob Aagaard

Please be kind :-)

I'm currently rated 1200 rapid and 1800 correspondence (no engine assist or anything) on Lichess.

I recognize that I am still a beginner/improver and not even at club level yet, but I really love learning about chess. I'm slowly working through Capablanca's 60 best endgames.

I would like to dive into Garry Kasparov as I find him to be an exciting chess player and what seems to be a good person outside of chess.

Are there any books about or by him that I could start with? I'd like something that has annotated games, but has more written analysis or history...rather than deep theoretical lines that are overly advanced.

Hi guys. My chess.com rating is around 2400, FIDE standard is 1900. In a recently finished classical event I beat a 2300 rated FM in a 5 hour long game. So not a lot, but I do have a fair bit of over the board classical experience as well.

I was looking for book recommendations that explain different pawn structures and the ideas around each of them. One suitable for my level.

Asking for this because I have heard from various strong players that studying pawn structures just greatly helped their game. Wouldn't mind a second opinion on if this is worth spending time on. Also open to general book recommendations too for a player of my level. Thanks!

Hi all,
Wondering how the community would feel about a tool like this:

Say for example you could load a book like dvoretsky’s endgame manual, and as a 1600 extract all that’s useful from it for someone at your level, and as you improve it unlocks more and more of the book. Perhaps the price could follow suit ie if you can only use 20% of the book at your level, you only pay 20% of the price, and then pay more as you improve and unlock more.

Other features:
- spaced repetition
- visual depictions of the solutions that improve on wall of text + diagrams
- adaptive visualization trainer

It’s about 2/3rds built but we’re a small team and building a lot at once, trying to get a sense of how much we should prioritize it. Got digital rights to a few upcoming books.

Let me know your thoughts!
