The Samisch King's Indian continues to be one of the fiercely
contested openings in chess. White's play is based around an
extremely solid centre, and there's the very real possibility of
launching a direct attack against the black king; a welcome change
because often it is Black who goes gunning for checkmate in the
King's Indian. But the Samisch is flexible too; if White wishes he
can instead try to strangle Black with his obvious space advantage.
It's these features that have made the Samisch such a popular
weapon for White both at club level and with the world's elite.
World Champions Botvinnik, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Karpov,
Kasparov and Kramnik have all utilized the Samisch at one time or
another, a testimony to the strong reputation of this opening.
In this book, opening expert John-Paul Wallace presents an
up-to-date study of the Samisch and its many offshoots. Using
illustrative games, he looks at the traditional main lines, the
trendy alternatives and the tricky sidelines, while outlining the
typical tactical and positional ideas for both White and Black. A
study of this book will allow the reader to begin playing either
side of the Samisch with confidence in his or her own games.
