Brought together in one volume as part of Everyman Chess's series
of compilation books: Play the Najdorf: Scheveningen Style by John
Emms and Play the King's Indian: A complete Repertoire for Black in
this most dynamic of openings by Joe Gallagher. The Najdorf
Sicilian is one of the most sharp, dynamic and popular openings
that Black can play and is a firm favourite amongst the world's
elite players, including world number one Garry Kasparov. From very
early on, Black unbalances the game to a reach a position in which
one can play for the win without exceptional risk. The soundness of
the Najdorf has never been questioned, but some players can be put
off by the ever-spiralling amount of theory amassed on this great
opening. In Play the Najdorf, however, Grandmaster and openings
expert John Emms condenses this mountain to produce a workable
black repertoire against all of White's possible options. The
King's Indian has always been one of the sharpest, most complex and
popular openings that Black can play; it still provides the setting
for many encounters at the elite level of Grandmaster chess.
Straight from the start, Black fights for the initiative and in
many variations, while White pursues material gains, it is Black
who has the psychological advantage of trying to checkmate the
opponent's king. Despite its many advantages, some prospective
Kings Indian players are put off by the seemingly endless amount of
theory one is supposed to learn. In Play the Kings Indian, however,
Grandmaster and life-long Kings Indian devotee Joe Gallagher has
produced a comprehensive and yet workable black repertoire against
all of Whites most dangerous possibilities.
