How to Reassess Your Chess, by Jeremy Silman
Hands down the best mid-game book out there, I'd like to get the new 5th edition but i've blown my budget on PAD/TAD. :crying:

romeowood,
I have about 300 books on chess and I agree with your assessment of Silman's book. However, I have the 3rd edition (got it when it was released) and if I ever return to chess, I'll need to update my edition.

@ William -- the new 5th edition is brilliant. I fondled it for a while at Barnes & Noble. It's a much larger size, expanded commentary and newer games, and updates on all the latest glitz & glamour of the chess world, all with Silman's uber-geeky (yet endearing) writing style. Hey we should play some games! I generally lurk on the yahoo chess site, and I have accounts at all the other ones though I often forget my passwords.
Of course, Sherlock Holmes (complete stories). Why else would I started smoking? Stephen Fry's Chronicles. Works of Aristotle.
romeowood, you play chess? That's brilliant!! I tried but it's too complicated, so I settled for easier game, I do philosophy, which is like chess game of the mind. Much easier than actual chess.
Chess is both incredibly simple yet limitlessly complex. Much like this thing life :puffpipe:

And for all the Larsson fans, there's a new biography of him written by a colleague. I fondled it for a bit at a bookshop today, looks like it's worth a read.
