They are very categorical but >Dorfman is one of the greatest chess coaches. Is the other Watson book Chess Strategy in Action? Does your Yermolinsky recommendation include more than The Road to Chess Improvement? Where do books on specifics fit into this course of study? For instance, Fundamental Chess Endings by Karsten Muller is one book that I haven't gotten yet that comes highly recommended. I'm sure there are others which touch on a specific topic that you might recommend (opening, tactics, pawn structure, attacking the king, or whatever). Would they come after completing your above mentioned course of study? Lastly, where does studying games fit into your plan? Any recommendations about what kind of games to study, whose games to study, or in what order master games should be studied?
