I am thinking of buying a chess related book for 15-25$, but I don't know which one should I get. The chess related books I have at home are for beginners which tell you the basics of chess and all kinds of trivia and "did you know?" everypage, and I got them from my elementary school for free.

I heard that pic related is a pretty good book but I am not sure if its the best one for me.

I know how to play the game and I am decent at it. I have 1600~ rating on lichess.org with over 600 classical games.

I am also thinking about buying My System by Aron Nimzowitsch

BrooOOO I don't know that much about chess literature, but have watched analyses of many chess players.
Mikhail Tal's games are on a completely different level from any other professional chess player I've ever seen. He has games that have playfulness and absolute brilliance in a way that I've never seen in another player. Would be very interested in getting this book myself

You seem like you know more chess than me but if you haven't seen Anderssen's immortal game watch that.

And to not answer your question read this fictional chess novel: The Royal Game/Chess Story by Zweig

My System is really the only thing you need if you dont plan on becoming autistic about chess

Can confirm, OP - Chess Story is great. Although the NYRB pb is pretty fucking expensive for only 80ish pages...

OP! There are two books you want: My System by Nimzo, which you mentioned, and Attack With Mikhail Tal. Do the right thing, my dude.
