Black is hunting the enemy king and this gives him a psychological edge in practical play. Here David Vigorito presents an aggressive repertoire for Black based on the main lines. Vigorito is renowned for his attention to detail and creativity, and his repertoire is full of innovative ideas. What's more, his lucid explanations of the key plans and tactics will benefit all King's Indian players.

The recommendations are geared towards posing Black unconventional problems: your opponents will not be able to churn out lengthy memorized variations, but will need to solve problems at the board in positions that are somewhat different in character from those normally reached in these openings.Grivas has also chosen the repertoire so that it forms a seamless whole and will fit alongside an English or Reti move-order in addition to a standard 1 d4 repertoire.

Ideas for Students - Bain","description":"There are many beginner books, which contain detailed information on checkmate, and many advanced books that solely cover checkmate, but there are very few beginner books that only contain detailed information on checkmate. John Bain's Checkmate! Ideas for Students is a book aimed at beginners (the only required knowledge is movement of the pieces) that specifically and only covers checkmate ideas in great detail. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the strengths of Checkmate! is that it covers the mechanics of the checkmating process in great detail, not only with explanations, but also with diagrams with arrows and circles to pinpoint the key features. Unlike many other basic checkmate books, Checkmate! categorizes the checkmate by the tactical motif used to force the mate (like attraction, double check, or removal of the guard) rather than the pattern of the checkmate itself. This approach provides a fresh view on the concept, and thus would work well in conjunction with another checkmate book, should the student desire more examples or wish to use Checkmate! as a second workbook. And workbook it is. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Bain's other books, Checkmate! is full of examples followed by problems. There is either one example and three problems or four problems on a page. Checkmate! contains 55 pages of discussion and problems plus 12 pages of answer key at the back. As a bonus Bain reviews algebraic notation and recording moves at the front and opening, middlegame, and endgame principles in the back. One improvement that Bain makes over his recommended Chess Tactics for Students book is that the hints are not next to the problem statement. This makes it easier to hide the hint if you don't want to use it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike his tactics book, Checkmate! is inexpensively bound, but the incredibly reasonable price of $5.00 makes this understandable and enables the book to be a real bargain.

Its almost as if one is sitting in a movie theater, watching the film roll by, with the narrative carried along by subtitles. But whereas a film seen in the theater just keeps going, here you can stop the action and take time thinking about what youre seeing and whats being explained to you, as if you were home watching on your own DVD.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this first offering of the series, Quick Tricks, the reader (viewer) is provided with a collection 50 neat traps and shots in the opening, illustrations often stemming from the practice of the worlds best players. Theres a variety too, so that you can sample different openings and variations. All you have to do is read the beginning paragraph, sit back in your living room, on your favorite flight, commuter bus or train ride, and pleasure your way through each informative film. Its also a great way to prepare for upcoming competition.
