Name ONE chess book that inspired you !!?

Question

I will always remember:

"The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played"

62 masterpeices of chess strategy

by Irving Chernev

**what a wonderful book !!

Answer 1

"My 60 Memorable Games" by Bobby Fischer is a book that I always wanted to own, but never was able to find it.

But I have studied all the games in the book though.

I still find myself going back to "Modern Chess Strategy" by Edward Lasker.  But I have to admit it is not that modern.

Answer 2

When I was a kid I enjoyed "Logical Chess, Move By Move" also by Chernev.  Good first book, that explained the reasons behind every move.

I have a copy of the book you mention.  It's also very good.

A photo of my chess books can be seen at the site below.  I should take another photo soon.  I've bought more since this photo was taken.

Answer 3

The Eight
