King's Indian Defence: Key Positions300 Real Games · 900 Historical Positions · 899 Active Training Tasks · Stockfish 18 AnalysisA professional chess training volume from the Higher School of Grandmasters and World Champions, compiled by International Master Sergey Kolesnyak.
This book presents a structured study of the King's Indian Defence from Black's perspective, based on 300 real games played by leading chess professionals.
Each game is examined through three connected training positions: Preparation, Key Moment, and Conversion. Rather than memorizing isolated opening variations, readers learn how to recognize pawn structures, identify strategic plans, calculate critical continuations, and understand the transition from opening preparation to middlegame play.
The volume includes:
- 300 real chess games and 900 historical training positions.
- 899 active training tasks following Stockfish 18 quality control.
- Four moves by Black in each seven-half-move training solution.
- Engine-verified evaluations and a documented correction methodology.
- Thematic, opening, and player indexes.
- A three-level educational method connecting knowledge, independent calculation, and practical play.
- Structured training compatible with the ChessMasterPro methodology.
The historical game record is preserved, while verified engine corrections are distinguished from moves actually played.
Designed for ambitious club players, chess coaches, advanced students, and tournament competitors, this volume provides a systematic approach to understanding and playing the King's Indian Defence with Black.
