Beating the King's Indian and Grunfeld - Timothy Taylor

The King's Indian and the Grunfeld Defence, favourites of the world's strongest players ever, Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov, have bothered white 1.d4 players for more than three decades. In contrary to more solid defences as the Queen's Gambit or the Nimzo Indian Defence in which white can play for a win or take a draw if he does not succeed, the King's Indian and Grunfeld make it difficult for white to even maintain an equal position. These openings require so much theoretical knowledge and accurate calculation that the majority of white players simply hates to be confronted with them.

Now the time has come for white players to strike back! In Beating the King's Indian and Grunfeld, Timothy Taylor presents the reader a number of new and effective weapons against the King's Indian and Grunfeld. The variations he discusses have a few things in common, they do not require hours and hours of study and they cause black an unpleasant afternoon! If you like to be in charge against the King's Indian and Grunfeld Defence again, than this is your book!

*Effective and easy-to-remember variations
