The Makogonov Variation

En bok om en variant mot Kongeindisk som naturlig blir mer populær etterhvert som hvit stadig skårer litt bedre enn ellers i denne åpningen. Varianten åpner rett og slett: 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 g6 3.Sc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.h3.

Boka er skrevet at to av de mest rutinerte forfatterne av åpningsbøker i våre dager.

Utgiverens egen omtale:

The King’s Indian Defense has a reputation as a sharp combative opening where Black aims to attack on the kingside, usually through a pawn storm supported by heavier artillery.

Meet the Makogonov Variation!

In this line of the King’s Indian, it is frequently Black who will be the target of White’s aggression. Black’s standard plans usually result in either a passive position with little hope of counterplay or facing down a kingside attack by White. In this work, you will find forty-six thoroughly analyzed main games with lots of explanations and additional analysis as well as a 'Quick Repertoire' that will allow you to play the opening in your games after a minimal amount of study time. It is time to take your opponents out of their comfort zone and right into yours!
