BOOK # 1.)
"The
Art of Positional Play,"
by GM Sammy Reshevsky.
(One of the
reasons I chose this book, was I borrowed this book from a friend
in the
1970's. I spent several months going through it. I have several students
who have
asked me about this book, so I thought it would be interesting to go
through it
again as a Master. Also, some people have great difficulty
with the
descriptive
notation in this book, so .... I have converted the games to the
more modern
algebraic notation. Get the book, and use this SOLELY
as an
aid to your
studies!! Enjoy. I'll try to do one game a week. 03/2002.)
I will eventually continue my Chess Books page here.
(To avoid too much scrolling.)
BOOK
# 2.) "Great Short Games
of the Chess Masters,"
by Fred Reinfeld.
ISBN: # 0-486-29266-5
A
favorite book of mine. Full of brilliant and wonderful plays.
Some
of the greatest ever short games by the great masters ... of by-gone years.
And they are carefully chosen and annotated by the great writer himself.
This
is a wonderful book. I just got a new copy about a week ago.
(My old copy fell apart from over-use, it was also like 30 years old.)
The
only flaw in this whole book is that it is OLD (English standard) Descriptive Notation.

Book
Three (# 3.)
"Modern Chess Miniatures," by IM Neil
McDonald.
I
had no interest in doing this book, but a big fan of my sites said he really
wanted me to do a very brief analysis of each game. And as he is willing to pay
for it, and the first check already cleared the bank ... I guess we start yet
another project!!
