View sample pages (pdf)

The King's Indian Attack is a very popular system of development for White, which can be used against many defences. It's easy to learn and play, and is based on understanding ideas rather than move memorization. The King's Indian Attack usually involves a deliberate and sustained attack on the Black king, which often proves to be highly effective and difficult to defend against.

In The King's Indian Attack: Move By Move, Grandmaster Neil McDonald examines the King's Indian Attack against the French Defence, Caro-Kann, Sicilian, King's Indian Defence, Queen's Indian Defence, Dutch Defence and other systems. He outlines White’s most promising options and Black's best defences, and provides answers to all the key questions.

Move by Move is a series of books which uses a question and answer format to emulate - as far as possible - lessons involving chess teachers and students. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn.
