The Dynamic English
Grandmaster Tony Kosten concentrates on aggressive treatments of the English - an approach that has brought him great success in tournament play. His book provides everything you need to start attacking with the English Opening, supplying players of the white pieces with a set of weapons that will equip them to challenge any opponent they face. There is an ideal balance of explanation and analysis, and practical examples illustrate the key themes.
Winning Endgames
It is in the endgame that the hard-won advantages from earlier play are either converted into a win or dissipated to produce a draw or worse. In Winning Endgames, Tony Kosten illustrates how to take stock of a particular position at the beginning of the endgame stage, how to identify the correct strategy, and how to exploit it effectively. With sections on the strengths and weaknesses of various pieces, positional and tactical themes, and attack and defense in the endgame, this book provides the developing player with the knowledge consistently to improve competition performance.
