Chess books for titled players and those ambitious enough to aim for the FM, IM, or GM titles. Needless to say, the books in this category are very difficult and the average club player would struggle to follow along. 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 1600 to 2200+.
