Book

can anyone reccommend a chess book which thoroughly explains the beauty of positional chess, Im looking for a good advanced chess book to match my talent.

Or just stop resigning?

Great insight, mucho apreciado.

Well seriously, how many games have you resigned within the first 5 moves, often before any pieces have taken?

I can see very deep into positons, I guess.

It's difficult to recommend a book to match you talent when your graph is such a skislope.

Game 7600115

Just a game picked entirely at random, according to the Games Explorer white has a 57% chance of winning outright and yet you resign..

If you genuinely have this gift of seeing so many moves in advance why aren't you ranked higher? Even if you can magically see that you will lose in 15 moves time, why do you think your opponents (avg. rating 1239) can see this far ahead and make the correct moves?

my skill level is 1400-1600 when fully concentrated I think, anybody want to advise me on a good endgame purchase? I do suffer from mental issues, seriously, so please dont make fun of my illness.

Im strong at openings for my abilty, adequate in the middle game, nothing flash, but endgame goes hand in hand with middlegame strategy and is the hardest period in a chess game, I know about the philidor position, lucena etc, just want a more advanced book, so to spaek.

Hi hintjul
I have recently brought a copy of Secrets of Chess Endgame Strategy by Lars Bo Hansen. It mainly deals with strategic endgames and explains the general principles to tackle endgames when the result is unclear. There are lots of books on technical endgames, ie how to mate with B&N v K, but this book is great at explaining all the general princ ...[text shortened]...
