Re: Chess books?
punter and montrealcorp's discussion seems to be advocating far more advanced stuff than is appropriate for the OP who is a novice player.
I think some of the annotated tourney games and game collections is going to be beyond the OP.
Even something like Combination Challenge and Reinfeld's 1001 great chess combinations and sacrifices (or whatever it's called) is going to be too tricky for him to grasp at this point.
Something like Fischer teaching chess or even Lasker's manual or Seirwan.
I also liked Pandolfini's ABC's of Chess for a novice-ish/player. Stuff like that.
Also all the different computer stuff out there that people are mentioning.
As someone mentioned, it really does depend on how much time OP is interested in putting into this, etc.
