Despite its sharp and aggressive nature, the King's Indian is an opening
that lends itself well to discussion in terms of plans, ideas and pawn-
structures. Those who are familiar with these underlying themes will
enjoy an enormous practical advantage when facing those who lack this
understanding, even if they are theoretically well-prepared. Golubev is
ideally qualified to provide a realistic and informative guide to the
King's Indian: he has played it for the whole of his chess career, scoring
many devastating victories. He draws upon this extensive experience to
choose the most instructive games and positions, and to provide a wealth
of insightful tips.
