Book recommendation

Capablanca has another book you can find online: "Chess Fundamentals", regarded by Mikhail Botvinnik as the best chess bok ever written (he was a grandmaster/world champion).

Forget abput Max Euwe the most underrated fifth worldchampion... He wrote more than 70 highly instructive books. Those books are very popular in the Netherlands and Germany, A lot of those books are translated in other languages as well as the german language. Find those books on Amazon read the comments and you won't be disappointed.

Judgement and planning in chess is one of my favourites.

#9 - just want to point that Reti's Masters of the Chessboard is absolutely okay for beginners or players with limited experience (I read it as a beginner myself).

Reti's intention was to write a didactic manual. Another advantage of this book is that it shows you many different styles of play and is less uni-dimensional than Chernev's or Alekhine's works (which are very good too in their own right, just different).

It actually looks like the book has been updated it is now the best 120 games of all time.

I would assume the annotations are still the same.

"Positional decision making in chess" by Boris Gelfand is also very good, if you want to improve quickly :)

Wow! How many good hints. Thank you very much to all. It looks like i need to buy more than one book ;-)

Best regards, Karl

The Capablanca book Chess fundamentals is without copyrights, but came with the "English notation" instead of the algebraic one.

I read that GM De Firmian produces a book of it, in algebraic notation, but that book was not very well received.

Meanwhile some people are working on an online version, made by volunteers :

The book should be interesting because Capablanca was a chess genius, and Botvinnik called the book the best chess book ever or something like that.
