Niveau: Turnierspieler, Profi

This disk is a perfect tool for players looking for a complicated battle against 1.d4. The author suggests the King’s Indian Defence and shows with a number of examples how realistic Black’s chances are in this opening to get a complex structure with the most serious attacking potential. Apart from theoretical information, the disk also contains structural insights and an array of ideas which will enable you to include this opening into your repertoire - immediately and with tangible success! The extended 2nd edition is based principally on games which have been played in the last three years with, as Black, either the author himself or top King’s Indian expert Teimor Radjabov. This has resulted in the creation of a work on the King’s Indian which not only gives deep insights into the variations and plans but also presents the most up-to-date state of affairs in this dynamic and active opening. (Video running time: 7 hours.)

Großmeister Rustam Kasimdzhanov, 1979 geboren in Usbekistan, ist seit vielen Jahren als bärenstarker und einfallsreicher Spieler bekannt. Doch im Jahr 2004 verblüffte Rustam Kasimdzhanov die Schachwelt, als er den Titel des FIDE-Weltmeisters eroberte und dabei eine ganze Reihe von Weltklassespielern wie Ivanchuk, Grischuk, Topalov und Adams ausschaltete. Der Usbeke, der Anand bei seinen beiden Weltmeisterschaftskämpfen sekundierte, lebt in Deutschland.
