King's Indian Defence

The best resource available to class players on the KIUD at the moment is The Kings Indian Move by Move by IM Sam Collins. In less than two hundred and forty page the author helps the reader to understand the KID, play the best moves in different variations according to current theory and inject new life in Black’s play against the super solid Fianchetto Variation. As usual the annotations by Collins are great and the twenty nine games are enough for an amateur to start on the right foot his chess career as a KID devotee. --- Miguel Ararat, FloridaChess ----- I found this book essential in order to give me the systematic knowledge to understand more difficult works on the KID. It is true we have hundreds of books on the KID, but the real problem is how to tackle the learning of the material. There should be a kind of staircase to success, and on each step there is a book. On the first step this is the book one needs to read to grasp the general ideas. ----- David Nastasio, Georgia Chess
