I am looking for suggestions for which book to buy. I am interested in annotated games by masters, but only with "word comments" (not just (+/-) symbols or computer analysis).
up to 1400: "Logical Chess: Move by Move" by Irving Chernev
1400-1600: "Understanding Chess Move by Move" by GM John Nunn
1600+ : "My Sixty Memorable Games" by World Champion Bobby Fischer

How has noone mentioned "Zurich International Chess Tournament, 1953". Probably one of the best books ever written.
BTW Tony: I was at CWRU today 😉. Rather around it, and outside the campus, not really visiting or anything.

I found this one only with the old notation...Is it written also with new notation?
1400-1600: "Understanding Chess Move by Move" by GM John Nunn
About this one I saw an adverticement saying it is recomended for 1600-2300 players...you sure it should be for up to 1600 players ?
Originally posted by !~TONY~!I will second that recomendation. Great book, but it will take time to work through and understand. An easier read, but of lesser value is Chess: The Art of Logical Thinking by GM Neil McDonald.
