It's a first-person account of KI battles (mostly, as there are also a few games not played by Smirin) grouped by middle game theme. Analysis appears to be computer checked and of high quality, as far as I can tell. Great to hear this - thank you! Is it inctructional or rather inspirational?

	Anyone got it? Is it worth buying? How it compares e.g. with Golubev's or Gufeld's works? I have no problem with older games as long as analysis are new! Books written by Kotronias is all about theory. Smirin's is meant to teach how to play the opening - it's rather an inspirational work. I'm just curious how well it's written and if it has some instructional value.

	New in Chess are advertising a new book on the Kings Indian. It's by Ilya Smirin and to judge by the sample, it's a collection of his best games in the King's Indian highlighting tactics and themes that recur. https://www.newinchess.com/Shop/Images/Pdfs/7630.pdf I did notice that some of the games were played more than twenty five years ago, so theory may have moved on.
