Are you tired of playing the same old openings time and time again? Perhaps it's time for a change, but you cannot decide between the numerous options available? Here's the answer: choose Dangerous Weapons and amaze your opponents with new and exciting opening ideas!
In this book, three renowned opening experts (Glenn Flear, Yelena Dembo and, chief author, Richard Palliser) get together to take a revolutionary look at the ever-popular King's Indian.
Instead of travelling down well-trodden and analysed paths, they concentrate on fresh or little-explored variations, selecting a wealth of 'dangerous' options for both colours.
Whether playing White or Black, a study of this book will leave you confident and fully-armed, and your opponents running for cover!
