Wow, could you please provide some details on this 7 ... Nf6-h5!? Dangerous Weapon?

Here is a Black win by Magnus Carlsen using this system (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1394451) and here are the 43 other games in the chessgames.com database from this initial position (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?node=2101669).

Would you mind summarizing some of the recommendations? I've been excited for this book for a while!

I reckon the variation with 4...0-0 followed by 5...c6 is an interesting alternative to the main lines of the KID. It isn't extremely dangerous, but it's rare and quite tricky for an unprepared White player.

4...d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nh5!? is another interesting idea for Black if he wishes to surprise his opponent.

Why is that strange? Palliser is a 1. d4 player.

Dangerous Weapons: The King's Indian
Richard Palliser Glenn Flear Yelena Dembo 

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 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!

Dangerous Weapons is a series of opening books which supply the reader with an abundance of hard-hitting ideas to revitalize his or her opening repertoire. Many of the carefully chosen weapons are innovative, visually shocking, incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly discarded; they are guaranteed to throw even your most experienced opponents off balance.

Don't know about a DW book, but Richard Palliser is rumored to be working on a Starting Out book that will cover the Barry Attack and the 150 Attack.

Yes! I play {1 e2-e4!} in rated games just to avoid those damn kingside pawn storms in the Dutch and King's Indian Defenses, since I have not studied the theory and Black's plan could be executed by a brainless monkey.

Someday I am going to read Cox's Play 1 d4! and learn what to do.
