Opening Repertoire: The Modern Samisch: Combating the King’s Indian and Benoni with 6 Bg5!

Players who favour 1 d4 often struggle to find a decent, reliable line against the aggressive King’s Indian Defence. Some systems are overly confontational whereas others appear to allow Black to adopt a very dangerous attacking set-up. Eric Montany recommends the Saemish variation (5 f3) as the perfect balance between solidity and aggression when facing the dangerous King’s Indian. The Saemisch is a flexible system that allows White to construct a solid centre. This does the job of restraining Black’s ambitions as well as providing the springboard for White to advance on either side of the board, depending upon how the middlegame develops. —– In this book, Eric Montany presents the reader with a complete Saemisch repertoire, offering solutions against all of Black’s main options and efficient methods to deal with tricky sidelines.
