My progress with chess.

A good little book I used to become better at chess was Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. You can buy this book for ~$8.00. Its well worth it.

Thank you very much guys. Also this site has been more helpful to me than any other database or chess puzzles etc. I would also like to pay respect to a certain player named caro kann, for taking the time out of his free time to have a teaching game with me, and analysing my games.

Don't you mean MikexX2020?

Or was that Santa Drummer....? 😛

How do you think MillerTime got better? or... do you not think he is better?

Bobby Fischer teaches chess was my first chess book. I would recommend it only as something to do without a board. You will learn about the back rank mate but not much else from what I remember. It's a nice puzzlebook for a bus ride or something.

The second book I would recommend that I also used was How To Reassess Your Chess. Its not really in depth but it does cover a lot of good points.

Closer, tactics, then Amateur's Mind, and only then RAYC.
