Any tips here? 😄
What to read after 'How to reassess your chess'?
Sort:
I am working through reassess your chess 4th edition now . I am similar lvl to you. I thought i would let you know about a utube site i found.it is called remote chess academy . There was a fun puzzle on there that calculates your chess strength. I missed 1800 idea. So it seems accurate . There was another video where he talks about fischers idea of never allowing opponents pcs on your side of board going unchallenged . A third video was talking about how to search for moves on the opponents side and only after exhausting those searching for passive moves . Anyways i was thinking the remote chess material may interest you. I recently read the”woodpecker method” tactic book . That was a painful book but definitely helped my tactics . Hope that helps :)
Hi there,
Last January, I came back after 8 years of not playing. When I quitted, I was 19 years old and 1800 elo OTB.
After 9 months I could say that both 90 + 30 and rapid I perform around 1700-1800. I forgot a lot of theory that I learned (just read back 'My system' of Nimzowtisch, 'How to reassess your chess', and 'Endgame book' by Silman + did some CT-Art circles).
When I quitted I kept all the books that my coach made me read when I was a kid (I'm 27yo now). These are many. Some of these are listed below, but I don't know which is better to read now:
1. The art of attack by Vukovic
2. Chess for Tigers by Webb
3. 101 attacking ideas in chess by Gallgher
4. Ideas behind chess openings by R. Fine
5. Good move guide by Larsen
6. Forcing chess moves by Hertan
7. Positional Chess Handbook by Gelfer
8. Practical rook endings by Korchnoi and Mednis
9. Analyse to Win by Jacobs
And many many others. Since 'attacking' is one of my historical weak points, I was thinking about reading The Art of Attack in Chess. But let me know what you think (also looking at my games here on chess.com).
Thanks so much in advance!
