The classical King’s Indian , Nunn, emne: hobby og sport, Book overview
The King's Indian defence is a favourite with attacking players, and has formed a major part of the repertoires of many great players, including Bobby Fisher and Gary Kasparov. The classical variation is the most popular line in the King's Indian, and it leads to complex positions in which good preparation is vital. Here, John Nunn takes a thorough look at the variation, providing many new ideas for both White and Black.
