As a Kings Indian player and Aficianado for the last 8 years, i must go against
this recomendation, this book by gufeld is not terribly good, further he has
directly PLAGIARISED almost every game analysis in the book, word for word!
Not a bold statement when i have several books with the EXACT same wording and
game anotation written far prior to this book.  The best book on the KID is
probably "Mastering the Kings Indian Defense" by Bellin and Ponzienetto.  Don't
even bother with the "Complete Kings Indian" by Keene, though some good
instruction can be gleaned from "tactics in the Kings Indian" by CGM Nesis.
