Mr. Gok has done a superb job of splitting the books up into the proper categories. Books like Art of Attack and How to Reassess Your Chess aren't going to help 1300's or 1400's all that much.
Yeah thats a very important point, I bought Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy and I found it a difficult read, now I know I should put that book off until Im around 2000 strength

Art of the Attack is a good one for any level. And don't neglect a good endgame book.

True. However, don't you agree that it is more benficial to a 1600-1900 than say a 1000-1400 player?

Yes, endgames are very important.

That's the one.

I think you should go back and do 0-1200 first, that information is very important. You need to have that done to finish 1200-1400 and 1400-1600
