The Samisch King's Indian continues to be one of the fiercely contested openings in chess.

But the Samisch is flexible too; if White wishes he can instead try to strangle Black with his obvious space advantage. Its these features that have made the Samisch such a popular weapon for White both at club level and with the worlds elite. World Champions Botvinnik, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov and Kramnik have all utilized the Samisch at one time or another, a testimony to the strong reputation of this opening
In this book, opening experts Alexander Cherniaev and Eduard Prokuronov present an up-to-date study of the Samisch and its many offshoots. Using illustrative games, they look at the traditional main lines, the trendy alternatives and the tricky sidelines, while outlining the typical tactical and positional ideas for both White and Black. A study of this book will allow the reader to begin playing either side of the Samisch with confidence in his or her own games.
