My friend suggested: "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" is a great book for youngsters, but hard to find these days, also the book by the Polgars titled simple "Chess" which contains thousands of puzzles for beginner players.

They are: *The Art of Attack in Chess*, by Vladimir Vokovic. *My System, *by Aron Nimzovisch. *My 60 Favorite Games*, by Bobby Fischer. If you can make it through these, you will be ranked at least 2300, one step short of Master. You have to win a few tournaments to make it it 2400, but if you make it through these three books you're well on your way. Another interesting game is backkammon. I have played against all the important people in that world, and mostly lost, but have at least shared a table within them.I have played in about five world championships, and won none, but I know all the principles and studied all their math. And although I haven't visiited a tournament lately, I still think that I have a pretty good game. A.
