The concept of the series "Opening for White according to Kramnik" is as simple as innovative.
The 14th FIDE world champion Khalifman helps you building a complete repertoire for White, using as a model the repertoire of Vladimir Kramnik - the only chessplayer who has beaten Kasparov in a match. The author guides you through the deep of variations, relying on Kramnik's choice and taste whenever possible.
This approach proves extremely rewarding nowadays with databases of milions of games, offering you numerous continuations virtually on every move.
Khalifman not only makes the choice for you, but also explains the ideas behind the moves and adds in his own analyses. The first book of the series covers the King's Indian, Old Indian and Anti-Gruenfeld.
It features the best study on the Classical system in King's Indian where the b4-variation is currently considered as the most dangerous weapon against Black's set-up.
