After Joseki:
By Kim Sung-rae, engl., 241 pages.
In this book, author Kim Sung-rae 4p presents numerous joseki positions and shows where the later attack and weak points are hidden in these positions. While most joseki books end with the final position of the joseki, this book shows how these josekis will work throughout the game. Thus, the reader learns to better assess josekis for the opening - he can also select them more purposefully with regard to possible later middlegame battles. But also in the middlegame, he can better recognize his own or his opponent's aji (potential) and use it to his own advantage.
After Openings:
By Kim Sung-rae, English, 248 pages.
In this book, Kim Sung-rae 4p, the author of the successful "After Joseki", deals mainly with positions after corner endings (shimari) and expansions on the edge. Many players are familiar with how to demarcate territory sensibly in the opening, but how to invade correctly in such demarcated positions and use the still existing aji is not so well known. It is precisely at this point that "After Openings" aims to help find an appropriate transition from the opening to the middlegame.
