Endgame: Hi, just grab Silman Endgame even though you arealdy have Dvoretsky & Muller. Dvoretsky is very good manual but a player may get intimidated, Muller is encylopediaic and better to read once you finished Dvoretsky. But Silman is assesible to anyone from beginner until master stregth. Yeah for your 1900 FIDE, you may feel that that books was too easy, but if you've time go to bookstore and try browse it first before you decide whether to buy or not. If you want real stuff read Nunn Chess Ending vol1 & 2 after finishing Dvoretsky/Muller/SilmanOPening: Below 2400, its better to get firm understanding about what is in' the opening PLUS the transformation opening/middlegame rather than memorise variation and sub variation. You can memorise in detail later.Recommended read: Watson's Mastering chess opening Vol1,Vol2,Vol3 & Vol4 + Secret of modern chess strategy/ Modern Chess Strategy in Action also by Watson.Middlegame/Positional: Silman's how to reassess your chess 3rd edition AND 4th edition. Bear in mind Mr. Silman completely rewrite for 4th edition: mean that the 3rd and the 4th have completely different content.get both. If you;ve more buck, take Reasses your chess workbook and the Amatuer mind also by Mr. Silman. Amatuer mind?? dont underestimate it, yeah it is geared towards amatuer but i had learn a lot from it (btw, my rating 2000+ FIDE, that 3 years ago, inactive, because focus on training and I planning to play again this year.). To round up everything buy Silman's Pal Benko book. It seem that I always talk about Silman. BTW he just a retired IM right?! not even a GM. I tell you what, formerly, Im quite skeptical about book that written by non-GM, as if there are not qualified, but as time goes by, I get wiser. Its not who the author that matter most, but what you can get from that author. Even if the book written by Kasparov, but you cannot grasp the advanced concept laid by him, then it may not the correct time to read it.
