Selections from the Chess Library will be brought to all our tournaments. Visit our tournaments page to sign up for a tournament! We have books on openings, middle game strategy, endgames, as well as chess introductory books.
I’ve always enjoyed chess books. My favorite chess books focused on openings. However, the best chess books focus more on tactics and strategy. You’ll find all kinds of books in the chess library.
Keep in mind the following rules when checking out books:
- Books can be checked out by any L.A. Chess Ladder member.
- A member cannot check out more than one books at a time.
- Books must be returned within one month.
- If a book is overdue, the player is ineligible to play challenges/tournaments until the book is returned.
- If a book is lost, it will result in a $20 replacement fee.
