Hello my chess players,
So here is current scenario: my elo on chess.com is roughly at 100 (128 rapid and 100 blitz); my daily is at 230. These are current ratings on Chess.com.
First, since I am coming back to the game, what books would you recommend for me.
Second how do you scores translate over here?
The first things you need is not a book, but taking time to think and blunder checking.
This is a 25+0 game, meant to last about 50 minutes, but it is over in 8 seconds by you hanging your queen.
You should play 25+0 at a pace of average 50 seconds per move.
You should blunder check before you move.
A great help is to go to your playing profile and enable move confirmation.
Think about your move. Play it. Check it is no blunder: does not hang any piece or pawn, does not run into checkmate. Confirm.

I think Susan Polgar's "Learn Chess the Right Way" series would probably be a good fit for you. There's five books in it, first one is on checkmates, second on winning material, third on protecting your own pieces, etc. Even going through them multiple times may help you get a deeper grasp on those patterns.
Not sure how the ratings translate, sorry.
