I remember a book advocating the Bg5 line vs KID
I remember a relatively recent repertoire book advocating, among others the "quiet" line with Nf3, Bg5 and e3 vs the KID, but I somehow forgot its title and author. I may have seen it on Amazon... any...

After 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3. Nc3 Nbd7 4. e4 e5, I see (in the non-subscriber material) that Nigel Davies indicates 5. d5 as the "main problem"/"key issue" with Black's move orde...
