King's Indian Warfare

"King's Indian Warfare is a practical guide to the most dynamic and ambitious defence against 1.d4. Learn to play the King's Indian like a world-class attacker from a life-long expert. Smirin explains the main themes in the King's Indian and annotates his best games with the opening, carefully explaining the basis for his many successes. This includes winning a 'mini-match' over a decade, against former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik with 2 1/2 - 1 1/2. From sacrificial feasts to positional masterclasses--this book has it all. Grandmaster Ilya Smirin is a three-time Israeli champion, with a peak rating over 2700 and probably the most creative grandmaster of his generation"--Page [4] of cover.
