Chess books? Favourite books on games (not /v/)?

It's Fischer 960 chess. Every game is randomized on the back row so you can't just memorize opening lines to gain big advantages early on. There are 960 possible variations, hence the name.

Never heard of it. Really interesting, thanks

>tfw I want to be good at chess but I'm not russian or jewish

You don't have to be good to have fun with chess. I started at 30 years old so I play like a retard and regularly get beat by children but its still worth it.

Pretty sure China is at the top nowadays.

I used to be good at chess, but success at chess really depends on your mindset. Every game I played to win. I had this seemingly infinite well of mental energy, and would play to the end no matter what the situation was. I never once experienced fatigue.

Now I'm 27 and don't have the mental energy to see things through anymore. So my advice, is be young and stick with it.

Take a look at this faggot

How are the Tom Clancy novels?

I stopped playing chess after I got pissed off from losing a match and kicked a hole in a door

you mean you want to be good but you didn't start practicing at the age of 5

Sillman's Complete Book of Chess Strategy gives an excellent overview.

Why do people keep saying this?

9/100 are Chinese, and there's no Chinese player in the top 10. Meanwhile 22/100 are Russian, and the third best player is Russian.
