Two great books from the Everyman Chess Library, Starting Out: The
King's Indian by Joe Gallagher and Starting Out: The Sicilian
Dragon by Andrew Martin, brought together in one volume. ----- The
King's Indian is one of the most exciting defences in chess and is
favoured by ambitious and aggressive players. At the highest level
it has been a major weapon for World Champions Bobby Fischer and
Garry Kasparov. In this easy-to-read guide, Grandmaster Joe
Gallagher goes back to the basics of the King's Indian, studying
the key principles of its many variations. Throughout the book
there are an abundance of notes, tips, warnings and exercises to
help the improving player, while important strategies, ideas and
tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated. ----- In Starting
Out: The Sicilian Dragon Andrew Martin studies this famous opening
in a simplistic way, introducing the crucial initial moves and
ideas and taking care to explain the reasoning behind them,
something that has sometimes been neglected or taken for grantedFew
would disagree that the Sicilian Dragon is one of the most
exciting, high profile and controversial openings in chess history.
Right from the very beginning of the game Black chooses to
unbalance the position, thus maximising his or her chances of
playing for a win. The positions reached are dynamic and of a
highly tactical nature, with both players very often going straight
for each other's throats in search of a quick-fire knockout blow.
In these razor-sharp encounters, it goes without saying that one
slip by either side can prove to be fatal. Because of its
aggressive nature, the Sicilian Dragon is very popular at all
levels of chess, while it received an ultimate seal of approval
when Garry Kasparov used it as his main weapon to beat Vishy Anand
in a World Championship match.
