Chess books

Hello. I am in need of two different book types.

- A very simple chess patternal puzzles book. For people good enough to checkmate with a rook, but not much beyond that. Preferably divided into chapters, let's say "forks" or "scewers" or "back rank mates". Obviously puzzles should be one move, nothing fancy.

- A book about engine chess. Perhaps in-depth engine games analysys? I am curious, does books like that exist, as I have seen some very interesting engine games (no, not only because of calculation depth and tactics, but also sometimes instructional for strategy, etc.).

If anyone has any reccomendations, please comment :).
Hello.

1) There are a lot of such chess books, old and new ones. The only advise I can give is to choose a book by a strong player, e.g. grandmaster. Even players like Nunn, Polgar, Jussupow, ... write such books.

2) I don't any book which concentrates on engine chess. Of course there are interesting games, but I like games by humans more. And often one can learn more by these.

Actually Daniel King has analysed some games of Kasparov against engines on his Youtube channel.
I laughed at puzzles should be one move. LOL
try your local bookstore or amazon. you will be surprised at how many books fit your needs
There is this book that will definitely help you called something like every move in chess explained by Irving Chernev
#2 I watch youtube engine games, though was hoping for a book. As for other type of books, do you have any specific reccomendations?

#3 What's so funny? I really have no idea and it looks others don't as well.

#4 I found a few books on Amazon, was hoping for reccomendations. Though I am sure, I won't find any in my local store.

#5 What does that book have to do with any of my needs? I have read it, and it has nothing to do woth it.
Dude, chill out, people will always post stuff like that
Sakram07, if you want to analyse some games, buy a book of GM's games, not a book about engines analyses.

« My best games of chess » from Alekhine is a really good book for this.
#7 Im chill dude :D. Just trying to make things clear.

#8 No thank you. I do not see why I would ever analyse Alekhine's games. Well thanks for advice, but currently I am not seeking for them. Unless players way strogner than me are giving them.
Why do you want analyse engines games so if you don't want analyse GM games ?

This + a book with just puzzle in one move...

That seems very pretty dumbious.
