The King's Indian is the ideal response to 1.d4 to combine dynamic
counterattacking play with complete theoretical soundness. A past
favorite of both Fischer and Kasparov, it continues to perform well at
the highest levels of modern chess. King's 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 King's Indian. This book version of Jones's 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 White's main possibilities, such as the Mar del Plata, lines
with an early h2-h3 and the Sämisch (5.f3). The repertoire will be
completed in King's Indian 2, including antidotes to White's tricky
tries after 1.d4 Nf6, as well as the King's Indian versus the English
Opening, Reti and everything else (except for 1.e4).
