What books, say three, on strategy and in what order would you recommend to players in the 1400-1800 range??

Originally posted by AlboMalapropFoozerI agree with your selection of the Euwe & Kramer book. I would like to add the new book by Neil McDonald, Chess Secrets, The Giants of Strategy.
Any of the following are good choices.
"Judgement and Planning in Chess" - Euwe
"The Middlegame in Chess" - Fine
The three volume set "Complete Chess Strategy' (or the abridged version "Modern Chess Strategy" ) - Pachman
The two volume set "The Middlegame" - Euwe and Kramer
"Chess Middlegame Planning" - Romanovsky
It would surprise me if there aren't many more.
