Who would not want to have a variation against the KID that\u003cbr\u003ekeeps White's position completely under control, that is positional in nature\u003cbr\u003eand that stays away from dark and murky waters or messy tactical situations?\u003cbr\u003eMany players like to play a variation against the KID that bears the hallmark of\u003cbr\u003estrong grandmasters and has stood the test of time. This book examines such\u003cbr\u003evariation with a repertoire for White and an in-depth analysis of all of\u003cbr\u003eBlack's responses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Averbakh variation represents a shift in White's approach to the fight against\u003cbr\u003ethe KID. Rather than focusing solely on the queenside while accepting a certain\u003cbr\u003edanger of being checkmated on the other side of the board, as it happens in the\u003cbr\u003eKID in many lines, White uses a strategy of positional control, in which he\u003cbr\u003euses the KID in a calm, positional way. Initially, the character of the battle\u003cbr\u003eis indeed relatively calm and positional, but not too calm to land in\u003cbr\u003enear-equal positions immediately. White's development schedules follow\u003cbr\u003estrategic logic. In the following parts of the game, White generally retains\u003cbr\u003ehis first mover advantage, in positions where he retains control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRepertoire books on the KID start from Black's point of view, overestimating Black's\u003cbr\u003echances and downplaying White's options and plans. In my opinion, that requires\u003cbr\u003ean analytical response from White's point of view. In this book, I will show\u003cbr\u003ethat, using recent theoretical developments and my own novelties and analyses, \u003cbr\u003eWhite has a serious chance to come out of the opening with a long-term plus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.2 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766417588512,"sku":"9789464201376","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3cbfbc424e3d46590cf6558771e3da02.webp?v=1780292320","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-modernized-kings-indian-averbakh-variation-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
