@old-indian saidI've only gone deeply into 30-40 chess books in my lifetime, but IMHO - Susan Polgar's - Chess Tactics for Champions has helped me improve more than anything. To quote GM Anatoly Karpov in the preface: These are not "problems" but practical situations found in actual games. The positions have been chosen or created to have maximum instructive value" A similar positive quote can be found by GM Boris Spassky on the back cover. This book (347 pgs) gives the reader the foundation of the Polgar sisters' success. 🙂

@greenpawn34 saidYech. Reinfeld. The only thing I learned from him is to never ever ever, ever ever ever, never ever NEVER! move your f, g or h-pawns. NEVER!!!! or you'll be backranked-mated.
'Tarrasch's Best Games' by Fred Reinfeld.
