Howzit Scrubber,

I have PCE and Dvoretsky's Endgame manual. PCE is great, but I look on it more as a reference rather than instructional book. I think I mentioned the Dvoretsky in the artcle. Also the Carsten Muller gets some good reviews.

A few people have slated Silman. I love My System for nostalgic reasons, but would probably stick it in the 'and because' category.

60 Memorable Games got a mention as well. I value it, but suspect I'm the only person in the world who would consider leaving it out. You are right Chernev is not in the same league (although the choice of games is good).

I picked up a copy of the Art of Chess Analysis in Jo-ey! I played for a couple of months at Roosevelt Park (and went to a chess club one night in Rosebank Mall... met a wonderful girl there!). The book's great, but the pages fall out in my copy

Yep, I agree on Fischer - Spassky, and think there is something earlier on in this thread about Grandmaster Preparation (I called it the first chess blog).

Best regards, Roger
