Grandmaster Repertoire: King's Indian 1

King's Indian 1 is the first of two books featuring a complete repertoire for black women. GM Gawain Jones is the perfect guide, as he is a world-class player and a long-time expert on the King's India. This version of Jones' chess course book has been edited and rearranged extensively by Quality Chess.

This volume takes as its starting point the opening moves 1.d4 Cf6 2.c4 g6 3.Cc3 Ag7 4.e4 d6, covering the main White possibilities, such as the Mar del Plata, lines with an early h2-h3 and the Sämisch (5.f3).

The repertoire will be completed on the 2nd King's Indian, including antidotes to White's deceptive attempts after 1.d4 Cf6, as well as the King's Indian against the English Opening, Reti and everything else (except 1.e4).

Gawain Jones is an English grandmaster, two-time British champion and winner of the 2020 European Blitz Championship. He continues to use the King's Indian as his primary weapon against some of the best players in the world.
