| Hello All,
I've been playing recreationally for a couple years now and would like to
start really studying the game. I've got "How to Reassess Your Chess" and
"The Amatuer's Mind" by Silman, but both of these books seem to assume
a level of expertise I don't possess. I'm wondering if any of you folks could
recommend a good book (or books) to start with.
Thanks!

| I just got done reading "Bobby Fischer teaches chess" and I really enjoyed
it. It is composed of over 300 1-2 move problems with increasing difficulty
and is great for the novice. I'm also having the same problem as you finding
beginning books that either teach the basics which we know or there are
books that display too many exhaustive branches of moves for every move, its
tough to follow as a beginner. Any other books for the novice is greatly
appreciated.

| Sorry about the name that I used, I set this up a while ago and used that
name as a test and forgot to change it.
