Fighting the Anti-King's Indians - Yelena Dembo

How to Handle White's tricky ways of avoiding the main lines

'I love playing the King's Indian, but no-one ever allows me to reach my favourite opening!'

Does this sound like an all too familiar complaint? The answer to this problem lies here.

The truth is you will reach your favourite opening in barely half the games you play against 1 d4, and that's why this book is a godsend to those players fed up with blindly searching for the right way to play against these annoying White systems designed to avoid the main lines: the Trompowsky; the London System; the Torre Attack; the Barry Attack; the Colle System; the Veresov; the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit - the list goes on and on!

Yelena Dembo, who as a hardened King's Indian and Grünfeld player has considerable experience facing these irritating openings, deals with them in no uncertain terms, in each case offering Black a no-nonsense solution that enables you to face the future with confidence

Covers all of White's possibilities after 1 d4 Nf6

Also includes advice and King's Indian solutions to 1 Nf3 and 1 c4
