Are there any worthy new books on King's Indian Defense or Sicilian
Scheveningen? Until four years ago (the last time I participated in a
tournament), I used to literally read every book and every game (Informator +
NIC) in King's Indian or Sicilian Scheveningen, but since then I'm afraid my
knowledge is outdated in those sharp variations those openings result in. It's
time I refresh my opening repertoire...
