Reviews

Any player looking to take up the King's Indian should have this book thrust into his hands before he learns a single line of theory! I have been frankly awed at the number of fantastic games that Smirin has played and haven't stopped oohing and aahing as I've played through them. Smirin's comments are also a perfect balance of analysis and general advice. My favourite book of the year 2016!
