Kings Indian 1

The Kings Indian is the ideal response to 1.d4 to combine dynamic counterattacking play with complete theoretical soundness. A past favourite of both Fischer and Kasparov, it continues to perform well at the highest levels of modern chess. Kings Indian 1 is the first of two books presenting a complete repertoire for Black. GM Gawain Jones is the perfect guide, being both a world-class player and a longstanding expert on the Kings Indian. This book version of Joness Chessable course has been extensively edited and reorganized by Quality Chess. Volume 1 takes the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 as the starting point, covering Whites main possibilities, such as the Mar del Plata, lines with an early h2-h3 and the Smisch (5.f3). The repertoire will be completed in Kings Indian 2, including antidotes to Whites tricky tries after 1.d4 Nf6, as well as the Kings Indian versus the English Opening, Reti and everything else (except for 1.e4).
