Yeah but the fact they took down the posts but didn’t remove the account is weird

If you like how to reassess your chess, another book by Silman is "Silman's Complete Endgame Course" which is very good for improvement in all rating levels.

I'm guessing nudity on chess.com based on what y'all are talking about. Its not rare to see something like that on here lol.

I've never ever seen anything like that on this site and I've been using chess.com for 4 years

Those were genuinely some of the most disgusting and disturbing images I've ever seen. it wasn't just simply nudity it was WAY worse take my word for it.

Try going to the off topic. It's more common over there.

If I find more of that there, I think I'll stay away; thanks.

I think you should try Kasparov Teaches Chess, as the book has simple things for beginners, (like opening choice, not blundering in the opening, controlling the centre, art of planning), and more advanced topics, too (queen sacs, how to gain space). I have read it and it is very good!

Silman's "Amateurs Mind" is a good positional book for 1000-1600. Capablanca's "Chess Fundamentals" is good as well. The latter should be available online as pdf.

Chernevs book is a good game collection for beginners / lower intermediate players.

100 Endgames You Must Know by Jesus de la Villa is a great one.
