After the main line \u003cstrong\u003e1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6\u003c\/strong\u003e, Gawain Jones turns to the systems that often cause the most practical problems for King's Indian players. The book explains how to meet the \u003cstrong\u003eAverbakh Variation\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFour Pawns Attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and the popular \u003cstrong\u003eFianchetto System\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also goes beyond the standard 1.d4 move order. Jones covers a range of \u003cstrong\u003eanti-King's Indian\u003c\/strong\u003e lines after \u003cstrong\u003e1.d4 Nf6\u003c\/strong\u003e, and he sets out a clear plan for using the King's Indian Defence against \u003cstrong\u003e1.c4\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1.Nf3\u003c\/strong\u003e and other first moves by White, with \u003cstrong\u003e1.e4\u003c\/strong\u003e excluded. The result is a repertoire book rather than a loose collection of variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose this book?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe King's Indian Defence remains a favourite choice for Black because it offers active play, counterattack chances and a direct route to fighting for the win. This book is aimed at players who want that kind of dynamic opening without giving up theoretical soundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts strength lies in the balance between \u003cstrong\u003edetailed analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eclear verbal explanation\u003c\/strong\u003e. That makes it useful both for checking lines and for understanding the plans, structures and ideas behind Black's play. Read together with the first volume, it gives you a complete repertoire you can take into your own tournament preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAuthor and edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGawain Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of this English edition, published by \u003cstrong\u003eQuality Chess\u003c\/strong\u003e.
