The King's Indian Defence is one of Black's most combative responses to
1.d4. A favourite of both Fischer and Kasparov, it remains a popular
weapon at all levels of play. In this, the fifth and final volume of the
epic Kotronias on the King's Indian series, Grandmaster Vassilios
Kotronias completes his masterpiece by tackling all major variations
after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 which were not covered in the previous volumes.
Starting with 3.f3 and working through numerous set-ups including the
Smyslov, Sokolov and Seirawan Systems, followed by the Four Pawns Attack
and culminating in the mighty Sämisch System, Kotronias has produced
perhaps the finest book of his career. As in previous volumes, the
author supplements the hard analysis by sharing his expert knowledge of
typical manoeuvres and positional motifs. Once again, a selection of
test positions has been provided, enabling the reader to sharpen his
tactical skills and improve his middlegame understanding.
