The Indian Defense of the King

Grandmaster Victor Bologan offers a complete repertoire for Blacks based on the King's Indian Defense, which is probably the most romantic response to 1.d4, having survived the test of time and being played even at the elite level to this day. The King's Indian defense The author explains the concept of the book as follows: "I have tried to reveal to readers the true spirit of the King's Indian Defense, discover its secrets and show them its most typical resources". The Yugoslav Encyclopedia devotes at least half of its volume 5, indexed from E60 to E99. I did not feel obliged to follow this framework, despite being long enough, and I have tried to explain when blacks should direct the fight towards the spirit of the Benko Gambit or the Benoni Defense. The King's Indian defense is a living entity and is in a state of permanent development. This opening is found in competitions of different levels, both in elite closings and open tournaments. The evaluation of its various lines is constantly changing and sometimes dramatically. The book is written for chess players of all levels, since the principles of the King's Indian Defense are equally applicable by amateurs, as well as by super grandmasters.
