ok u want a book,just buy :
reasses your chess by silman
. probably one of the best beginner book ever written.
then u can by : my system by nimzovitch
after u know those 2 by heart(and believe me,there is so much stuff to learn there u will need to read them more then once) just by for opening purpose so u wont get lost in 100 variations but will know the general idea in evry opening : pawn structure chess by andrew soltis.
with those 3 books u will be a easily strong chess player and for last by a endgame book,probably :
endgamne strategy by mikhayl shereshevsky
but in reasses your chess they suggest books anyway
good (hard...)read
ps: btw ,trust me by those ......!!!!!
i know what im talking about,i quit chess for poker o0.....
