Few openings in the history of chess have captured the imagination of grandmasters and club players alike quite like the King's Indian Defence — a dynamic, combative system in which Black willingly cedes central space to White, only to launch a ferocious counterattack. In King's Indian Defence: 4 c4, Soviet grandmaster Efim Geller, one of the world's foremost authorities on the King's Indian, presents a rigorous and authoritative treatment of this critical variation, dissecting the opening move by move and illuminating the deep strategic and tactical ideas that lie beneath the surface. Geller, who wielded the King's Indian as a weapon against the world's elite for decades, brings an unparalleled depth of practical experience to bear, making this volume an essential resource for any serious student of the game. Part of the acclaimed Batsford Chess Openings series, this work stands as a landmark contribution to chess literature, blending concrete analysis with rich positional insight in a style that is both instructive and compelling. Translated by Dr K. P. Neat, the text retains the clarity and precision of Geller's original thinking, making it accessible to an international audience. Whether you are seeking to add a powerful weapon to your repertoire or simply wish to understand the profound ideas that have shaped modern chess theory, this volume will leave you hungry to push your king's knight to f6 and enter the fray.
