hi all! I have a few questions. What minimum BKR would you guess it would take to be somewhat assured that you could beat any average person (i.e. someone who doesn't play regularly or is not a club player, etc.)
Also, what books would you recommend to get to this level?
Also, what openings/systems would you recommend?
I play Japanese Chess and Go and love board games but haven't really got into chess. I have a few chess books with problems that I enjoy working and have a decent success rate (One Thousand and One Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations by Fred Reinfeld and Winning Chess Tactics for Juniors by Lou Hays and Sharpen Your Tactics by Anatoly Lein, Boris Archangelsky).. I love working problems and would like some direction on where to go next.
