Reviews of the authors previous work Kings Indian Warfare:

King's Indian Warfare by Ilya Smirin is an inspirational read.
GM Michael Adams, Daily Telegraph

I have been frankly awed at the number of fantastic games that Smirin has played and havent stopped oohing and aahing as Ive played through them. Smirins comments are also a perfect balance of analysis and general advice.
My favourite book of the year 2016! ***** (5/5)
