Complete Your Ultimate King’s Indian Defense Repertoire

Part 2 of the most royal King’s Indian repertoire is here!

2-time British Champion Gawain Jones is back, and he has more than a few surprises in store for the final installment of his KID master class.

Not only will you complete your knowledge of one of the most dynamic responses to 1.d4 in the book, you’ll also get a comprehensive repertoire against everything except 1.e4.

In his famously thorough and articulate style, Grandmaster Jones picks up where he left off in Part 1 with in-depth coverage of White’s h3 systems against the King’s Indian Defense. He then gives combative responses to other critical King’s Indian variations, including the:

♚ Four Pawns Attack (4.e4 d6 5.f4)
♚ Smyslov Variation (4.Nf3 d6 5.Bg5)
♚ Averbakh Variation (4.e4 d6 5.Be2 O-O 6.Bg5)
♚ Seirawan Variation (4.e4 d6 5.Bd3)
♚ Fianchetto and Double Fianchetto setups
♚ and more

But what really makes this the ultimate King’s Indian repertoire is not just its brilliant handling of every critical KID variation out there; GM Jones’ coverage of all White’s alternative tries truly makes this a Lifetime Repertoire.

Along with the King’s Indian lines, you’ll get responses to all of White’s other major openings apart from 1.e4. You’ll learn how to counter the:

♚ London System, Veresov Attack, Trompowsky Attack, and other 1.d4 opening alternatives
♚ 1.Nf3 openings such as the King’s Indian Attack and Reti
♚ 1.b3 systems (Larsen’s Opening/Nimzo-Larsen Attack)
♚ English Opening (1.c4), including the key Symmetrical English and Botvinnik English variations
♚ and a plethora of sidelines

Combine this course with a Lifetime Repertoire against 1.e4, and you’ve got a complete repertoire for the Black pieces!
