@olimpiuurcan First: Beating the Sicilian, first edition, by John Nunn
(later the more influential followed: Beating the Anti-Sicilians and play the King's Indian by Joe Gallagher)
@GMjtis Fundamental interest: "Wie ich kämpfe und siege" by Anatoly Karpov (How I fight and win - Not the Batsford edition, which is also great), 80's.
First book to study: "Beating the Sicilian" by John Nunn.
@chesscom Edward Winter tried to find sources for that quote and couldn't find one. But Reuben Fine wrote something similar. "‘As they say in New York, the good player is always lucky." https://t.co/fcyNGQ7SqD
