Reading matters

Posted on June 14, 2023 by DrDave

A set of books to have on the go:

For example:

Opening: White	EMMS: Starting Out: Scotch Game
Opening: White odds	COX SO: 1.e4, COLLINS A simple chess opening repertoire
Opening: Black e4	PEDERSEN Easy Guide Scheveningen
Opening: Black d4	GALLAGHER SO: King’s Indian
Tactics	HAYS Winning Chess Tactics
Strategy	SILMAN Reassess your Chess
Endgames	de la VILLA 100 Endgames
Praxis	HARTSTON Kings of Chess, TAL Life and Games

Chessable and YouTube doubtless offer much the same content, but I have never had a dodgy connection with a book, so tend to prefer them.
