How
to Think Ahead in Chess by I.A. Horowitz & Fred
Reinfeld (1976)
One of my favorite chess books is "How to Think Ahead in Chess" by
I.A. Horowitz & Fred Reinfeld. This book recommends the Stonewall Attack
for White and the Sicilian Dragon for Black against e4 and the Lasker Variation
against d4. Although I no longer use the Stonewall(except as a rare surprise
weapon) I won many impressive games with it in my younger days. I still use the
Dragon regularly, and occasionally Lasker's Defense. This is still a good book
for C class and below players. |

How
to Think in Chess by Jan Przewoznik and
Marek Soszynski
This book is based on a series of problems in which you have to find the best
plan for each side. These are real positions, not made up problems. The positions
are quite complex and the obvious moves are not usually best. It definitely requires
some creative thinking. I have spent several hours on some of these positions
without seeing all the possibilities. I would recommend this book for A players
and above. |
