Chess books for Christmas - what to ask for? - andyburnett - 29-11-2013
I quite fancy a couple of chess books appearing under the tree with my name on the tags come Christmas Day.
Preferably instructive with a 'workbook' element: something along the lines of Jacob Aagaard's 'Calculation' in his Grandmaster Preparation series which I am currently enjoying. (Are the other books in this series also worth buying?)
Does anyone have any suggestions? I do have most/all of the 'classics', so something more recent perhaps?

Guess no-one buys books anymore ;| (except yours of course
)

If you're looking for a mixture of readability and great chess, you could ask Santa for Judit Polgar's vol. 1. Young Judit definitely had a touch of the streetfighter about her, so it could be right up your, erm, street.
