Complete Book of Chess Strategy: Grandmaster Techniques from A to Z
Jeremy Silman

Siles Press, 1998

More of a reference book than a deep strategy book
If you looking for a lot of strategies defined and briefly covered then this is the perfect book. If you are looking for a book on detailed strategies, opening traps or tactics on a deep level then this is not the right book. It simply doesn't get into anything very ...
  
  











  



  
The Grandmaster's Book of Ninja Training
Masaaki Hatsumi

McGraw-Hill, 1988

Small Book, Big Lessons
Sometimes, the best books to learn from are books of interviews with a master of some particular thing. This book is no exception and packs a lot of good info in a very few pages. The questions and answers that go back and forth between students and teacher reveal ...
  
  











  



  
Cribbage Simplified - Beginner to Grandmaster
J.T. Best

Jaala Inc., 2007

Very Comprehensive Cribbage Book
This book truly simplified the retention/throw-off aspect of the game. With a single read I was able to understand the card relationships of compatible, friendly and unfriendly. That basic information was, in and of itself, worth the value of the book. The in-depth ...
  
  











  



  
Positional Chess Handbook: 495 Instructive Positions from Grandmaster Games (Chess)
Israel Gelfer

Dover Publications, 2001

The Best Value For A Positional Chess Book!
This is an excellent book on chess. The diagrams are clear and can easily be followed through and the previous reviewer who commented that they were too small, was on my part greatly exaggerated and didn't do any justice. Buy one copy for yourself and decide. This book ...

The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash: My Life, My Beats
Grandmaster Flash, David Ritz

Broadway, 2008

.....
It's a good book. At times when I read this book it made me realize that it really isn't 100% about hip hop, but about a man's struggle. How everyone's life can go zig zag zig... forward, back and hopefully forward again. It shed light on a few things for me: ...
  
  











  



  
Grandmaster (Otto Penzler Presents)
Warren Murphy, Molly Cochran

Forge Books, 2005

One of my favorites
I found this book for the first time in a box of family give away books. I read it and loved it. That was several years ago, and now I re-read it every time I run out of books to read. Warren and Cochran do a great job of relaying the eternal struggle of good and ...

The Shaolin Grandmasters' Text: History, Philosophy, and Gung Fu of Shaolin Ch'an
Great book!! Good introduction to Shaolin, answers many questions. Besides a basic history & philosophy of Shaolin it talks about BASIC martial arts stances, techniques, styles, etc. "hows & whys", I wish I had run across this book 20 years ago!

Gambit Publications, 2007

Excellent contemporary overview of a popular defense to 1.e4

Joel Benjamin

Everyman Chess, 2008

American Grandmaster speaks volumes..

Great introduction for kids

Counter-attack! (Grandmaster Secrets)
Zenon Franco

Gambit Publications, 2009

Superb defensive technique is a hallmark of all great chess-players. With a few deft counterstrokes, they not only deflect what looked like an overwhelming offensive, but also expose the darker side of their opponent's build-up. Is this sheer black magic, or are these skills that ordinary players can develop? While some of the key defensive ...
  
  











  



  
Grandmaster Secrets Endings (Grandmaster Secrets)
Andrew Soltis

Thinkers' Press, 1997

Probably the best book for the average player
Well, I don't normally write reviews, but given the quality of some of the earlier reviews, I feel compelled to speak up. I am a reasonably strong player (USCF 2200 years ago, today FIDE 2100) and know a little bit about chess theory, having trained several junior ...
  
  











  



  
Wonderboy: How Magnus Carlsen Became the Youngest Chess Grandmaster in the World
Simen Agdestein

New in Chess, 2005

Inspiring Book for Juniors!
Learning about the life and games of the then thirteen year old grandmaster was very inspiring. He became a grandmaster at even a younger age than Bobby Fischer. I enjoy reading about and going over young champions games such as Fischer, Junge, and Reshevsky (I found ...
