Which ones you should get depends on how strong you are. I suggest G.M. Lyssitsyn's "Strategyja Taktika Shahmat" (Strategy and Tactics in Chess) with lots of quizzes. It is a huge book, over 500 pages. I have it in Russian and have no idea whether it's been translated into English. Everything I have learned in chess I have learned from this book. And I was a late beginner... I would also reccomend Vukovic'c book on attacking in chess (the exact title escapes me, probably "The Art of Attack in Chess". Djordje
