A favorite weapon of both Fischer and Kasparov, it remains a popular choice at all levels of play. In this, the fourth volume of the epic Kotronias on the King's Indian series, Grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias tackles a variety of White's attempts to challenge his favorite opening, starting with the sequence 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe all-time greats Petrosian and Gligoric lend their names to systems examined after the further 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5, with 7.d5 and 7.Be3 respectively, while the dreaded Exchange Variation 7.dxe5 is also discussed and dismantled. Dynamic coverage of Makogonov's 5.Nf3\/6.h3, Karpov's 5.h3\/6.Be3, Larsen's 5.Nf3\/6.Be3 and Averbakh's 5.Be2 completes this extensive work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout the work, the author shares his considerable knowledge of typical positional motifs, while providing plenty of ammunition should the game erupt into the full-blooded warfare that is the hallmark of the King's Indian.
