Expert Endorsement

GM Grigor Grigorov writes: “The King’s Indian series by GM Luis Supi is one of the most extraordinary projects that we have ever published in Modern Chess. I would have never imagined that King’s Indian Defense can be learned and played in such a practical way by avoiding tons and tons of theory. Very often, Supi goes for rare and less explored ways as early as move 6! What is remarkable is that Supi thinks in concepts, not in theoretical lines. I can assure that even players who have never played (and won’t play) King’s Indian Defense will tremendously benefit from studying this work.”
