Dear #chesspunks is there a need to combine book titles with indicative ratings based on our own reading experience? If there is a lot of enthusiasm I could run a pilot
I would post a poll for 1 title with different ratings (e.g. >1400 >1600 >2000), below I put my own impressions (if any) and the result of the poll together with the book title I can add to a pinned tweet series.
Besides voting you can also reply in text to inform the other readers of your impressions. The system is of course not water proof and I also don't know if there is a lot of interest for this. So vote below and feel free to leave comment!
Chess book/courses rating indication

This will be a series of tweets where I will recommend chess book titles for adult improvers, typically ratings below 2000 (still a wide range).
Opening: I am a big fan of chessable courses but mainly the ones where you can interact with the author, so check if he/she typically responds on the discussion forum within 1-2 days so it doesn't stop your study progress
Other good opening books are easy guides, step by step and starting out series. Openng books/courses should focus on ideas and concepts, there should not be a lot of move memorization.
