Good Players read Top Chess Books!
Good chess players read chess books and don't make the same mistakes for the rest of their lives.
If you intend to improve your playing strength you should study good books about chess strategy, chess openings and chess tactics. If you read opening books and learn opening lines, you will be able to play your first 12 moves or more in 2 minutes or faster. This will save you a lot of time in a serious chess game. Your opponent will wonder, why you make your moves so fast. I will recommend some of the best books on chess below. They will improve your game. I got tons of chess strategy books at home myself.  I am now able to offer unique downloadable chess training videos by Grandmaster Igor Smirnov (UKR)! 
Opening Chess BooksEncyclopedia of Chess Openings, GM Roman Dzindzichashvili teaches you his own variations of play against 40 of the most popular openings. This might interest you to learn the top lines in opening play and get Grandmaster instructions on DVD ...and get some decent Chess Opening DVD's!

 Get "Logical Chess - Move by Move" by Chernev because every move is explained here! Another good book for beginners that received very good reviews is the Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess.
For Advanced PlayersI recommend the following chess strategy books for advanced players. There are many other good books around, but the following chess books are highly respected among chess players and myself. Jeremy Silman
It is commonly agreed among chess players that the following chess books are very good to improve your chess. Why are these books so good? It is the way how chess positions and chess moves are explained. Jeremy has a way to explain that makes you understand things very fast. This is a natural gift he has. Some writers have it and some don't. I recommend his books The Amateur's Mind "The Amateur's Mind is eminently readable and instruction-rich. Jeremy Silman never disappoints those who seriously wish to improve their game." Joel Benjamin, International Grandmaster. ... and I recommend:  How To Reassess Your Chess Get "How to Reassess your Chess" - Click here! Get more Jeremy Silman Books here ... Mark Dvoretsky
One of the best chess authors is Mark Dvoretsky, who is a well known russian chess trainer (Some say, he is the best chess trainer in the world). His books are full of original ideas taken from his personal archives. You can't buy anything better than that. But it's hard work to study them and you should be a good player already.
