This disk is a perfect tool for players looking for a complicated battle against 1.d4. The author suggests the King's Indian Defence and shows with a number of examples how realistic Black's chances are in this opening to get a complex structure with the most serious attacking potential. Apart from theoretical information, the disk also contains structural insights and an array of ideas which will enable you to include this opening into your repertoire - immediately and with tangible success! The extended 2nd edition is based principally on games which have been played in the last three years with, as Black, either the author himself or top King's Indian expert Teimor Radjabov. This has resulted in the creation of a work on the King's Indian which not only gives deep insights into the variations and plans but alsopresents the most up-to-date state of affairs in this dynamic and active opening.
