Some good books on chess?

Question

Hello,

I have been playing chess for a few weeks and not doing bad. But would like to get better so my question is what are some good books that will help me out?

I think i am pretty good at the opening part of the game but i stink at the middle part. that is where i can see where i lose my games.The end game i am so-so at it.

So what would be some good book(s) to read up on?

Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

use this book :

the complete IDIOTS guide to:

CHESS

Answer 2

I would reccomend a notationless book first.

I like "Chess Tutor" by Ault.

Read it and become a tactical genius.  Then worry about notation.
