Controversial Samisch King's Indian
By Chris Ward
Publication Date: 15 November 2004
Editorial Review:
The Samisch variation is commonly recognized as being the sharpest way of meeting the popular King's Indian Defence, although in its modern use by White, one is just as likely to see positional queenside play as any deadly assault on the Black king.
In this innovative opening book, Grandmaster Chris Ward takes a look at its transformation over time. He offers a unique insight into the subtleties of this system and reflects on many of his own experiences, while observing why such modern greats as Karpov, Kasparov and Kramnik have been tempted by the characteristically aggressive 5 fe.

Black Knights' Tango
By Orlov, Georgi
Publication Date: June 6, 1998
Editorial Review:
A new opening which enables Black to call the tune! Bamboozle your opponents from the very start of the game with this little known but perfectly sound opening which has considerable surprise value. Virtually unknown to most players, the Black Knights' Tango is one of the few chess openings which enables Black to fight for the initiative from the very start of the game. Played by top US Grandmasters including Benjamin, Shabalov and Dzindzichashvili, the 'Tango' received the highest vote of confidence when the US champion Alex Yermolinsky played it against Garry Kasparov at the Chess Olympiad in 1996.

Winning With The Catalan
By Dunnington, Angus
Publication Date: 5 August 1997
Editorial Review:
The Catalan is a favourite of many top grandmasters, with Kasparov, Karpov and Korchnoi using it to good effect in key matches. Once White’s Catalan bishop has started breathing fire down the long diagonal, Black’s days are numbered.
This is the first book to explain the Catalan in a way accessible to club and tournament players.
