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 checkmate the opponent's king.
Despite its many advantages, some prospective King's Indian players are put off by the seemingly endless amount of theory one is supposed to learn. In Play the King's Indian, however, Grandmaster and life-long King's Indian devotee Joe Gallagher has produced a comprehensive and yet workable black repertoire against all of White's most dangerous possibilities.
*Written by a renowned King's Indian expert
*Includes up-to-date theory on a fascinating opening
*Covers all of White's replies

Play the King's Indian: A Complete Repertoire for Black in This Most Dynamic of Openings
Short version: A fantastic beginner's guide on how to approach learning chess past how the pieces move.
Long version: Yasser breaks down the basics in terms of:
Force/material. - The value of the pieces, their main strengths/weaknesses and therefore when a trade of pieces is favourable.
Time. - How to mobilise your pieces efficiently and avoid situations where your opponent may force you to waste time.
Space. - How to evaluate how much room you have to manoeuvre your pieces, and what to do if you are ahead, or behind, in terms of space.
Pawn structure - How pawns build the backbone of chess and how to use them to control the battlefield, including how to avoid weaknesses in the structure of your pawns.
Finally, Yasser ends with several annotated games, explaining the reasoning behind each move in terms of Force, Time, Space and Pawn structure, allowing the reader to get a grasp of how to analyse their games, and learn from their mistakes.
A wonderful read for any aspiring chess player.
