Will there be coverage of anti-KI lines in either volume?

In this video Kotronias "explains" why he has never reached 2700. He says: "that's my style! I always blunder!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Kx30flCwI

OK, let's go back to Vigorito now. If anyone has his book he can answer me this question. What is the level of analysis? I saw in the pdfs in the Everyman site that he stops to early the variations sometimes without a clear plan indicated and comments like "with unclear play" etc. Does he do the same in other parts of the book?

I was a little bit unclear in my post. I meant is it worth buying the Vigorito book for me while I have already Bologan ,Gufeld and beating the KID?
I ask this question because all the variations in this new book are covered in the above mentioned books.


At 2300 you should be able to tell if you're happy with Bologan and older books or not. The Vigorito and Kotronias books will most surely look at other lines than Bologan. It's up to you to choose who to trust. I'm quite sure that both Vigorito and Kotronias are as thorough as Bologan.

Once it comes out, I'm sure it will be fantastic. Not only is Kotronias an expert on the KID, he's also a fantastic writer and analyst.

I'm a 2300 player and I play the kings indian all my life with ups and downs. I based my reportoire on several old books and in recent years by 'the art of the kings indian' of Gufeld and the Bologan book.
I am planning to buy the book of Kotronias, does anyone recommend this book?

I've already got the 1st vol. Are there means of knowing with some deatil the contents of the 2nd vol.? I had though of giving up KID for the Semi-Slav or Modenr Benoni but Vigorito's book have recovered my faith on it. I want to work on KID lines again and I'd like to know what are the repertoire recommendations of the 2nd volume while I wait eager it will be out for buying. Thanks and excuse my poor english. I do my best.


What is your opinion of the first volume? What readership is it aimed at? How detailed is the theory? Is there an appropriate balance between prose and variations? And is it worth buying for someone with a ChessPublishing subscription and several books on the King's Indian?

I've liked Vigorito's other books very much, so I have high hopes for this tome as well.

If you liked "Play the Semi-Slav" buy this one. I think it's in the same line. I don't know if it's worth for GM but it's enough for me (2100). I've bought all the KID books there are in the market and my first impression is this is one of the best. It provides more verval explanations than Bologan's book and I'm seriously thinking give up c5 gambit in the Samisch and play the Panno.

I just ordered the book from London Chess Centre. Is this Attacking Chess series of Everyman similar to Quality Chess's Grandmaster Repertoire series?
