Not all of these books are appropriate for every age group. I have tried to list the books and products in each section in order from easiest to more complex. The reviews at Amazon are very helpful because they are from real readers.

There are three basic ways to improve your chess.

To play
To review your games
To read about the game and to review the games of master players

For those of you who want to improve further, I recommend the products listed at this web site. At Chess is Fun, I have tried to provide a comprehensive, free chess course for you, but chess is a huge subject. Hearing from other experts is always a good idea, and hearing it over and over will help you to improve!

Please feel free to sign the Chess is Fun Guestbook [temporarily down]. Or try out the brand new Chess is Fun Message Board!
