How many Chess books have you finished?

During my almost 2 years of experience in chess, I have read several books, though only a few "entirely":
~ Chess the Easy Way, Reuben Fine. My first ever, a friend gave me this old book he had and didn't care about. I was amazed by some concepts like the king's opposition. Nice book.
~b3: Attacco Nimzo-Larsen, by IM Alessio de Santis (Italian book about the Nimzo-Larsen attack) - I've read it many times but it's one of those books you have to revise more and more! Many games and positions to check over and over again!
~Pandolfini's chess challenge (completed), very good one!
~1001 chess exercises for beginners (Done most of them)
~ 100 trappole che tutti dobbiamo conoscere, Graham Burgess (Chess opening traps for kids is the English name if I'm not mistaken- I checked many of the traps)
~ Pawn Structure, by Andrew Soltis (I mostly checked the structures that I play- I would have liked more example games)
~Complete Endgame, by Jeremy Silman (Only partially, I d say about 1/3 of the book)
~1001 deadly checkmates, by John Nunn (I solved only a few, I will keep going with it)
~ Polgar's Middlegame. It will require a lifetime to finish :D but I m slowly progressing through.
~ Endgame Challenges, by John Nunn. Extremely difficult endgame studies, did only some of them
....and a few others that I can't recall now. I recommend all of them :)

Apart from books, I've watched many many videos on youtube, like Agadmator's, Eric Rosen's, many lectures of the Saint Lois Chess Club, and many more. All of this slowly improved my gameplay noticeably

i have read maybe 5% of "Understanding chess move by move" by Nunn and "Life and Games of M. Tal"
the first surely is a good book but i found it boring. the later i wanted to read but the PDF I had was broken and i wasn't bothered finding a good one yet

@Aqua_sama They are very good books, and I highly recommend them! :)

@LinearStork I see, Thank you very much.

tons!

@sparowe14 well see with your age everything makes a lot more sense (should have led with that lol). See someone like you I feel would be great to have a conversation with. Just the life experience and understanding for how things (in general) work and don't work etc is awesome. You are right however... everyone is different and some people really do not learn anything from "Study" as such, but rather from just doing and playing and learning by failing for sure! Books are just there to teach a bit more about the "what to do in certain types of situations". It is still very much up to you to identify, apply and practice those situations and get better and more efficient at that whole process in order to actually improve your play! I would say one of the biggest ways to get better is competition (actual real life tournaments against stronger and very solid players forces you to learn things faster, because the price for failing is higher and thus the lesson gets etched into you much deeper than 1000s of online games that have little to no meaning). Online games have very little meaning as you can just reload and play again and forget easily!!! People do not understand the value of competitive play! Get out there and go play events bois and girls!

Zero.

wish I could remember them... offhand, cover to cover and only with approximate titles, what I can recall working through

way back in the 70's: Reinfeld, Complete chess course, Lasker's manual of chess, Point count chess, Art of checkmate, Fischer's 60 memorable games, a thick paperback of Keres' games, Botvinnik's best games, Sicilian Flank game, Keres Practical chess endgames, Barden's Ruy Lopez book, bunch of chess digest opening pamphlets with tiny fonts, the old book on the Pirc and the one on the modern, Florian's tiny book on Schliemann, Pachman's MCS

in the 2020's: Chernev's Capa's best endgames, Alburt's 2 books of chess position quizzes, a couple more chess quiz books, Sokolov's winning chess MGs, a book of Agaard's that has 60 Tarrasch games annotated, a similar one of Collins, Ehlvest's GM Opening prep., Jansa's Dynamic chess, 2 thin books on endgames, Geller's best game collection, Endgame strategy. 2 books on Rauzer/Classical Sicilian.

IN between nothing. In the 70's Gligorich had a 'game of the month column in CHess Life that was wonderful. To work thru 1 games was about the same as a book.

@MrPushwood
B.S.

@swimmerBill can you please give a review on Barden's Ruy Lopez book and Aagards 60 annotated Tarrasch games??
