Tactics, best book I've ever seen:

Encyclopedia of Chess middlegames/Combinations.

The company that produces this book also produces a worse/newer book called I think "anthology of chess combinations" which I think is actually all sacrifices. But they also produce the line of ~800 page problem books for things like "R v P endgames," "R v R endgames," etc. Incredible books in their own right, but it's very important to have a conceptual understanding of the endgame ideas before approaching such a book. I don't have a great idea of which book to pick up for that, but I'm sure someone else does.

The Siliman books are quite good. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
