Multiple Choice Chess, Volumes 1 & 2

I love this format. When I just read an annotated game (for example, from Neil McDonald's Logical Chess), I can coast along. Being confronted with a choice *every move*, OTOH, requires me to really work hard. I think there is much greater learning value when I perform my analysis, make my choice, then see how it compares with the actual GM move. There are diagrams every 2 - 3 moves (4 - 6 ply), so you may be able to work through the book without using a board. I'm rated about 1900 on FICS, and I haven't needed a board at all. The target audience for this book is probably 1200-1800 ELO, although I think it can still provide value up to 2000 ELO. The book does have some minor flaws: * Some typos have left me scratching my head. A certain reply is supposed to refute choice B, for example, but it's illegal! Ponder long enough, and you might figure out that he meant Rc1+ instead of Rb1+. * The analysis can be somewhat shallow. Some interesting lines are not considered, and occasionally the reason the winning GM chose a move doesn't hold water. (Then you look more deeply, and work out the real reason.) All in all, a worthwhile investment of time.
