Reviews
Bologan's book has two main strengths. It is concise, and it offers multiple repertoire choices where Kotronias tends to offer just one. That it covers 'sidelines' like the English, London and Torre is also very useful. Bologan's analysis is generally of a high standard.--John Hartmann Chess Life Magazine Bologan's understanding of the King's Indian is second to few and here he maps out a pretty detailed repertoire for Black against all White's options.-- CHESS Magazine (UK) This book is really comprehensive and written by a player who is really impressive at the theoretical and practical level.--Davide Nastasio Georgia Chess News
