Default Re: Chess: want to get better fast

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual

And it's not even close.

Popinjay: If you want to excel at all facets of chess (a must), you will need to know much more than just the tactics and puzzle books don't work very well for all players. Silman is a solid author for you to look into. Also, opening knowledge and memorization is overrated (if you have a great memory, by all means memorize it all) -- stick to middle game and endgame once you have a playable opening worked out.
