Chess books intended for tournament players. For those playing classical chess on the intermediate level and are looking to go beyond the basics of strategy, positional play, and endgame strategy. The rating refers to official FIDE ratings, except for categories below 1600, which no longer exists in official tournament play. For those categories it refers to online rating. This represents a rating range, and there will be many books that cover a wider range than 200 points, so you might see a book intended for players ranging from 1200 to 1800.
