Title: Starting out: Kings Indian Attack Author: John Emms Language: Pages: 224 Cover: Paperback Published: 200 5 Publisher: Everyman Chess Homepage: Price: £ 1 4,99 ISBN: 1 -85744 -394 -2 Reviewed by: Date: 23/7 200 6 Starting out: King’s Indian Attack The renowned chess coach Mark Dvoretsky considers the King’s Indian Attack (KIA) to be a perfect weapon on which to base an opening repertoire. For the club player with limited time and energy available, and disinclination to studying the latest developments in the Sicilian Najdorf or the like it is a very useful opening as it consists of a set of common moves, of which the move-order can even be varied from time to time. It is basically characterised by the King’s Indian set-up Nf3, g3, Bg2, 0-0, d3, Nbd2, e4 but sometimes White also plays an early Qe2 and brings the queen’s knight into play via a3. And sometimes White plays c4, sometimes c3, a3 and b4. In short: there is plenty of room for flexibility.

The experienced English grandmaster and writer John Emms covers both the KIA against the French, Sicilian and Caro-Kann, i.e. White starting with 1.e4 and applying a calm set-up with 2.d3, but he also goes into the stringent KIA move-order beginning with 1.Nf3, 2.g3 etc. The 1.e4 portion takes up a little more than 3/5’s of the 224 pages. Content Thus the main body of the book has the following content:. KIA versus the French (67 pages). KIA versus the Sicilian (51 pages). KIA versus the Caro-Kann (20 pages).
The Reversed King's Indian (16 pages). KIA versus the Bf5 System (23 pages). KIA versus the Bg4 System (31 pages).
The Queen's Indian and the Dutch (9 pages) Every chapter has a similar build-up with a small introduction, some strategy explanation and statistics. Then a number illustrative games before a short but useful 'points to remember' section. The introduction to each chapter is where the opening moves are explained and move-orders dealt with, while the games is more for 'entertainment and instructional value' rather than being theoretically relevant. That said there's plenty of useful opening advice to get from the annotated games. Emms gets around most things that can be expected but I found one small omission in the absence of the line 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Bg4 3.Bg2 Nd7.

Emms covers these Bg4-lines with a preliminary c6, which is probably also more common, but the line mentioned is popular at grandmaster-level. Black wants to develop in regular fashion but tries to do this quicker than usual by leaving out c6 for some time.
