The King’s Indian has long been one of Black’s sharpest defenses to 1.d2-d4. The Fearsome Four Pawns Attack is a book that deals with one of the most aggressive systems against this popular defense. The logic of the system is quite simple: With f2-f4 White stakes a maximal claim in the center, which he will follow up by an attack on the enemy king. Of course, Black has a lot of defensive possibilities, but must play with a feel for the positions and above all know the theory well. Otherwise White will quickly grab the initiative, and Black may find himself on the wrong end of a blistering, direct attack on the King.
