Chess books for master level players Chess books written by Aagaard, Dvoretsky and Kasparov are suitable books for master level players. I have recently discovered the book Perfect Your Chess by Volokitin &amp; Grabinsky which is similar in vein. What other chess books are suitable for master level players?

I use the term master level players to refer to players who are at a level equivalent to 2200+ FIDE rating. Books suggested should:


be suitable for a general master level player.
contain sufficient material that will stimulate a master level player.
be useful in the training of a master level player.
Openings:

Questions of Modern Chess Theory by Isaac Lipnitsky - a Soviet classic. Gets into the ideas behind opening theory in general.

For specific opening lines - the Grandmaster Repertoire series tends to be quite good.

Middlegame:  

Dvoretksy's Analytical Manual - I didn't get too far through it but it is an incredible workout.

Endgame:  

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual, of course. If you learn everything in this book you will have endgame knowledge that far surpasses most masters.

Practical Rook Endings - Korchnoi. Quite expensive in this listing but I found one for $15 a few years ago.

Most books by John Nunn.

General:  

Any well-regarded selection of annotated games from a GM is immensely helpful. Keres, Tal and Shirov's collections are great, to name a few.
