The King´s Indian Attack - Properly Played Perfect Paperback – August 23, 2018

Tutto bene

Within the first minutes of opening this book I noted a typesetting error and two typos. The language is awkward - very much English as a second language. But - the most damning comment is the overuse of the phrase "deserves attention". To which I would add "why?" and "show me" as would most club members.

There was no peek preview option when I bought this book. If it had, maybe I would have not bought it.I am disappointed that it is more of a reference book of games played with the different variations of KIA, rather than a learning book that will really teach you the details of the ideas and concepts so you will learn how to play the KIA properly. I felt rip-off when it fell really short from it's title saying "...Properly Played" when it doesn't teach you how to properly play it that should include explanations on the moves down the line. Each chapter starts with descriptive theory of the variation topic but you will be left alone to figure it out your self the ideas behind the following lines of moves.The index of moves is not even included in the book, so it really sucks even as a reference book.I'm not impressed with the authors as it is obvious that this book is done without a labor of love. Basically lazy authors that I will not buy any product from them ever again.On the bright side, there are variations included in this book that were not covered in my other KIA book. But then I again maybe I could just research it from a chess database online --which will make this book then rather useless.
