I have a few additional recommendations: 1. Buy Kotov's "Play Like a Grandmaster" instead of "Think Like a Grandmaster", as it is the more comprehensive and revised version of the former. 2. Pawn Power in Chess, by Hans Kmoch The bible of pawn formations. 3. My System, by Aron Nimzowitsch Any chess library should have this all time classic. 4.
