 1:  Hi !!  name is Jim  19 yrs old  from  cumberland  MD    Im a postal expert
  USCF  (2059).
 2:  Im currently competing in the Maryland Postal Chess Championship....with
  current state champion   John Mingos,  others include  Mark Lazalere, and
  Ted Brandhorst
 3:  Ok on openings :   Ideas Behind the Chess Openings ( Rueben Fine)  is a
  must.    ECO ,  MCO , BCO , take a backseat to the new Russian volumes EMCO
  (numerous authors).  --->  Try to get comprehensive books on defenses you
  play as black !!
 4: ok on middlegame :   The Art of the Middlegame is an inexpensive must read
  written by Keres & Kotov.  Think Like A GM ( A. Kotov) to learn to calculate
  variations.  The Middlegame volumes 1&2 by (Euwe & Kramer)  need to be
  studied .  Then, move on to Reassesing Your Chess with (Jeremy Silman)
 5:  Learn to plan , select candidate moves, etc with Silman's large work.  And
  finally learn to play positional chess with Aron Nimzovitch in My System and
  Chess Praxis
 6:  Tactics :   Learn the themes and definitions exampled with many diagrammed
  positions in Lev Alburt & Sam Palatnik's  Chess Tactics for the Tournament
  Player.   Then put them in Use with the Anthology of Chess Combo's by  Chess
  Informant.
 7: when you are ready to test your "stuff"  try Combinations : The Heart of
  Chess by (Chernev), and  Secrets of Chess Tactics (Dvoretsky)   recommended
  for 1800+ players.
 8:  Strategy :  Well start off with the hypermodern  (Ludek Pachman)   Modern
  Chess Strategy,  2 or 3 volumes i forget. :-)   then try (edward Lasker's )
  modern chess stratey  to refresh yourself.  And when you are ready to move on
  to modernized stuff :  The Art of Defense by Soltis,  Mastering
 9:  mastering the endgame vol 1.2 by Shereshevsky,  Pawn structure chess by
  Soltis,  Pawn power in chess by Kmoch,  and Allbut's Chess Strategy
