The Dynamic English

Tony Kosten

  • Difficulty: Advanced
  • Category: Opening
  • Rating: 1600-1800, 1800-2000
  • Readability: 6/10
?
How difficult it is to read the book without using a board. A book with 10/10 readability is a bedtime story, a book with 1/10 is a puzzle book full of variations. Readability doesn’t represent the quality of the book.
  • Usefulness: 8/10
?
Usefulness is a measure of how useful the book is for chess improvement within the topic it covers. Books with a high usefulness score should help you improve quicker than those with a low score.
