M.: Murad Amannazarov, 1999. - 260 p. — ISBN: 5-93527-003-X.The series "Self-instruction Manual for Chess Openings. Modern Practice" is intended for a wide range of chess lovers (from II category to CMS) and is dedicated to the most popular openings in modern practice.We hope that the books in this series will help readers learn how to play their favorite openings well, while at the same time saving them from the danger of "drowning" in the flow of opening information.Unlike ordinary opening reference books, which contain only a summary of known variations, the Self-Teacher aims to simultaneously reveal to the reader the ideological content of chess principles, demonstrate the inextricable connection between the opening and subsequent actions in the middlegame, and introduce the reader to typical plans, techniques and combinational subtleties characteristic of the opening being studied. Almost every new tournament introduces significant clarifications into the theory of this opening. At the same time, the reader will receive a complete understanding of the current state of his theory. To this end, the Self-Teacher presents games from the practice of the last decade, containing, along with examples of middlegame strategy, the main achievementstheoretical thought of the 90s. XX century. This approach allows you to solve several educational problems at once - the “Self-Teacher” can be considered as a reference guide, as material for systematic study, and as a source for expanding your chess horizons.The first book in the series is dedicated to one of the most popular closed openings - the King's Indian Defense - and introduces the reader in detail to its main and directions (4-pawn attack, Saemisch system, classical system, system with g2-g3 and Averbakh system). Several of the sample games given in the book date back to the period before 1990. This was done for methodological reasons since these games were milestones in the development of the corresponding opening systems, and withouttheir presentation would be incomplete.The book uses now standard symbolic language, but the reader can easily determine which typical plans, techniques, and combinations he needs to pay special attention to. All such cases are marked with a special sign “TM” - a typical method. The book ends with a selection of typical combinational and positional positions for independent solutions.
